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.

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!
