An SR22 is a certificate that is submitted to your state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and serves as proof that you are carrying adequate amounts of car insurance coverage and can is financially capable of compensating anyone against injuries and damages you may cause during a car accident. An SR22 form also serves as your state’s way to keep track of those who has had unsatisfactory driving records and behaviors and in a way, assures mutual financial protection for both drivers and citizens that may get involved in a car accident.

Before your husband can facilitate getting his driver’s license reinstated, he must first find a company who is authorized to provide SR22 car insurance coverage. The insurance provider is actually the one in charge of submitting this form to your DMV office there in Georgia. Your husband would also have to maintain the SR 22 car insurance policy for the next couple of years, without any gaps, lapses or cancellations to avoid further penalties and keep your premiums from ballooning.

I do not have my own automobile but I was told that I need to buy an sr22 car insurance coverage in Indianapolis, Indiana. What is that?

Generally an SR-22 is required of a motorist after they are convicted of traffic or moving offense of the law and especially at the time the motorist wants to have their drivers license reinstated after suspension or revocation.

If the state is not requiring you to acquire an SR22 insurance, you do not need to buy an SR22 insurance policy. If the state is requiring that you to acquire an SR22 insurance as a condition of your license being reinstated whether you are the car owner or the driver. The SR22 is used to show that you will have financial responsibility if you are going to drive an automobile.

If you do not own an automobile and are required to acquire an SR-22 insurance you should be able to obtain a non-owner SR-22 insurance policy in Indianapolis, Indiana.

I suggest that you may contact your states Department of Motor Vehicle to obtain more information if you are required to get an sr22 financial responsibility certificate or not.

I am planning to move in Huntington, West Virginia, am I required to obtain automobile insurance if you do not own a vehicle.

The state of West Virginia requires that all registered automobiles needs to be insured. In West Virginia the minimum amount of car insurance coverage required is $20,000 per person up to, $40,000 per accident and $10,000 for damages to properties. This is also known as 20/40/10 coverage. All car insurance policies must be issued by a insurance providers licensed to sell auto insurance in West Virginia.

So if you just got your driver’s license and do not own a vehicle you are not required to obtain auto insurance to maintain your drivers license. You are not required to provide proof of car insurance to obtain a driver’s license in Huntington West Virginia however you are required if you are going to register an automobile.

I’m a new driver. I heard from a cousin that if I received traffic ticket then I could enroll in defensive driving courses to remove citation from my driving record in Plano, Texas. How true is this? Can anyone enroll on those classes?

Morgan

Plano, TX

Nice question Morgan. For you to qualify in taking defensive driving course there are requirements that must be met according to the Plano Municipal Court:

• You must have a valid Driver’s License (from Texas);
• You must have insurance or a proof of financial responsibility
• You are not charged of over speeding (25 miles or beyond the speed limit);
• You must enter a guilty plea for the citation;
• You must pay State Costs and Administrative Fee of $109.00 or $134.00 (which depends if the violation happened in a school zone) and;
• You must not have taken the class for the last 12 months.

The good thing about enrolling in a defensive driving class is that it does only remove your traffic citation but also qualifies you to get a discount on your insurance rates. Check with your Texas Department of Safety for additional information on how you can take advantage of enrolling in a defensive driving class.

What happens if I am pulled over and I dont have my driver’s license with me at the time?

State laws vary but generally if you are driving a car and have a driver’s license but forgot it at home, you can be given a ticket if pulled over and requested by a police officer officer to produce it.

The good news is that in most areas they will give you the opportunity to present it before your court date and produce a driver’s license that was valid before the date and time of the original violation so that the ticket can be remove.

Always remember that this differs from state to state. If you were cited for not having your driver’s license in your possession, you may contact the court listed on the ticket and also probably your state’s Department of Motor Vehicles to check if you can show your valid license and have the ticket dismissed.
