Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need insurance if my license is suspended?

Most states require you to maintain continuous insurance even while suspended, especially if the suspension was for lapsed coverage or driving uninsured. Letting your policy cancel during suspension can extend the suspension period or add new penalties.

What is an SR-22 and when is it required?

An SR-22 is a certificate filed by your insurer proving you carry liability insurance, required after DUI, reckless driving, driving without insurance, or excessive points in most states. You must maintain the SR-22 for 1 to 5 years depending on your state and violation type.

What happens if I let my SR-22 lapse?

Your insurer is required to notify the DMV immediately if your SR-22 policy cancels or lapses. The state will suspend your license again and restart your SR-22 filing period from zero.

How long does a DUI affect my insurance rates?

A DUI conviction raises your rates for 3 to 10 years depending on your state, with the steepest increases in the first 3 years. Some states allow the surcharge to drop after 3 years if you maintain a clean record.
