When Is An SR22 Required?
Reader’s Question:
Is SR22 only required for DUI or DWI? are there any moving violation that an SR22 will be required?

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!
