DUIs and SR-22

Drunk driving offenders undergo significant economic impact. In addition to the high fines and fees they are subject to, and the cost of mandatory drug and alcohol assessment and counseling, numerous states will require insurance coverage (such as an SR-22), as well as fees most states charge for re-instating a driver’s license. An SR-22 is an official form that is mandatory in most states to prove that the driver has the current minimum liability insurance required by the various state law. It is often required to remove a suspension order placed on a driving privileges by the local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), and requires the driver’s insurance company to notify the state’s DMV if it cancels the driver’s auto insurance. An SR-22 requirement will increase a driver’s insurance premium. For further information contact your Local DUI Attorney or your Local DUI Blog.
