SR22 Teen Insurance – DUI Convicted Driver
Reader’s Question:
Am I automatically required to carry an sr22 when I get convicted of DUI? The court never mentioned about me getting an sr22. Im 16 years old and Im planning to purchase a car. Thank you.

Thank you for asking Karen.
An sr-22 is a form which must be filed by the insurance provider stating that car liability insurance is in effect for a particular individual. It is required when auto insurance is provided to an individual who was in an accident or was convicted of a moving violation and was unable to show proof of financial responsibility at that time. In this case, you will need to show financial responsibility at the time you received your dui. If you fail to show any proof of financial responsibility, your state will probably require you to carry an sr-22 and its insurance. To verify if you will need this coverage, you will need to contact your state’s Department of Motor Vehicles.
Goodluck!
