insurance rate for DUI
Reader’s Question:
I got convicted of DUI but the DMV only informed me about the reinstatement fee. Do I still need an sr22? I live in Nebraska.
Randy
Thank you for asking Randy.
You will need to verify with the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles to make sure if the SR-22 is required in your situation or not.
The NE DMV online states that if you have been suspended/revoked as a result of a court conviction, accumulation of points and other administrative action may be required of you to show proof to the State of Nebraska that all cars that you own are insured. In addition to that, if you do not own any vehicles, you must purchase a non-owner or operator policy to show proof of financial responsibility.
According to the NE DMV your operator’s license and/or operating privileges may be suspended under the Administrative License Revocation (ALR) law. This authorizes police officers to immediately confiscate a driver’s license because of Driving under the Influence (DUI) conviction.
It looks like that in Nebraska it depends upon who suspended or revoked your license will help to determine if you will be required to file a SR-22 to reinstate your license. Its best to contact NE DMV to see see if you need to get insurance with a SR-22 filing or not.
Goodluck!

Reader’s Question:
My friend drove my car and he got convicted of a DUI. How will this affect my insurance rates?
Jairus
Thank you for asking Jairus.
If a offense is written to a motorist only and not against the motor vehicle, typically, it is the driver’s record that will be affected. If this is the case and your friend got convicted of a DUI in his or her name only then it would usually be their driving license and insurance rates that would be affected by this citation.
Most states have tough laws against driving under the influence of either alcohol or drugs. A court conviction of an individual operating while intoxicated, OWI, includes penalties such as a 48 hour jail sentence for a first offense, course or seminars for drinking drivers and substance abuse evaluation and or treatment. This is conviction may also come with a fine of up of to $1000.
Goodluck!

Reader’s Question:
Is sr22 only required for DUI or DWI? are there any moving violation that an sr22 will be required?
Eddie
Thank you for asking Eddie.
The reasons that an SR-22 may be required depends upon state laws and statutes. The SR-22 in most states is required to reinstate your license after a DWI or DUI conviction and other serious moving violations.
In Oregon, the Department of Motor Vehicles requires that your insurance company file an SR-22 certificate with DMV if :
* You failed to provide proof to DMV that you have liability insurance,
* You’ve been convicted of driving without insurance,
* You’ve been involved in an uninsured accident,
* You are applying for a hardship or probationary permit, or
* At the time of reinstating your driving privileges following a DUII suspension
This is not the complete list so to get more information, you may contact your state Department of Motor Vehicle.
The SR22 is a form that shows that you have financial responsibility on your car through motor vehicle insurance. Generally it is required by the state for drivers who are high risk. Each state has their own reasons or circumstances that require a driver to acquire and maintain the SR-22. Here are some reasons a state might require you to file an SR-22 form:
* DUI or DWI (drunk driving or under the influence of drugs)
* serious moving violations such as reckless driving
* compiling too many DMV points in a short period of time
* being termed a habitual traffic offender
* causing an accident while uninsured
* reinstating your license after a suspension or revocation
Goodluck!

Reader’s Question:
I got convicted of 2 DUIs this year and last year. What happens if I get pulled over by a police officer and I have no proof that my driving for work?? I live in CA.
Lim
Thank you for asking Kim.
A restricted license granted after a second DUI conviction has guidelines that need to be followed in California. The CA law states that the restriction of the driving privilege shall be limited to the hours needed for
a. driving to and from the place of employment,
b. driving during the course of employment, and
c. driving to and from activities required in the driving-under-the-influence program.
According to the California vehicle , the California Department of Motor Vehicles may suspend or revoke the license,once they receive satisfactory evidence of any infraction of the restrictions of a driver’s license .
So if you get caught driving outside your restrictions your driving privileges may be taken away once again. The California DMV should be able to give you information if there will be additional penalties given to you by the courts if you are pulled over and cannot prove you are driving within your restrictions.
Goodluck!

Reader’s Question:
I just want to know if there is a suspension that is mandatory for DUI?
Kaye
Thank you for asking Kaye.
DUI or driving without insurance is considered a serious offense in most states. The penalty for this kind of infraction varies from state to state This can include large amount of fines, suspension or revocation of your drivers license, impoundment of your vehicle (and payment of storage and towing charges incurred), jail time or community service. Most states, for instance, New Jersey, the mandatory penalties for a person found driving without insurance are even greater than those for a person receiving a DUI citation for the first time.
It is regulated by each state.
It is also likely that you will have to comply with the state’s financial responsibility laws by getting an SR22 or the Financial Responsibility Certificate.
Goodluck!
