What is an SR-22?

An SR-22 is a form that shows that you have car insurance. It is required by the state for drivers who are high risk. Here are some of the reasons a state may require you to file an SR-22 form:

• DUI (drunk driving) conviction.
• Serious moving violations such as reckless driving.
• Racking up a lot of highway points in a short period of time.
• Being pegged as a habitual traffic offender.
• Causing an accident while uninsured.

Regulations vary from state to state, but high-risk drivers usually have to carry SR-22 insurance for three years.
