I’m sorry to hear what happened to your friend. But just to be honest Rena, not to dampen your spirits, but being convicted of driving under the influence (DUI) is something you don’t wanna happen to you. For one, a DUI conviction automatically makes your friend a high risk driver. And auto insurance companies charge higher car insurance premiums with people with DUI conviction.

As to your question on what is DUI SR22 insurance, this includes two important terms – DUI and SR22. Let’s first define what an SR22 is.

An SR22 is an insurance form that your car insurance company needs to submit to your state’s Department of Motor Vehicles to have your license reinstated. This insurance forms provides proof of an existing car insurance coverage that meets the required auto insurance in your state. Meanwhile, DUI insurance is simply car insurance that is specifically designed for people with DUI conviction.

I think the reason why your friend told you that she needs DUI SR22 insurance is because she needs to get SR22 insurance for her DUI conviction. Since she is convicted of DUI, she needs a special documentation in the form of SR22 insurance to make sure she has an active and existing car insurance coverage.
