I am a 25 year old working female who has been charged with DUI. My question is: Why do I need to get an SR-22 insurance policy when I don’t even own a car? I need to save money during these tough times.

Cassy, an SR-22 insurance policy is needed in Kentucky if you have been convicted with DWI (driving while intoxicated or DUI which stands for driving under the influence), and you want to get your license reinstated. An SR-22 is needed for five years after the earliest offense, and then ten years after a subsequent offense, and then if you obtain a third offense, a full 20 years. I mean seriously, that maybe heaven’s way of telling you that you are not meant to drive. Ever.

But if you still ignore the voices of reason, common sense and logic even if they scream directly at your ear, and you still get a fourth offense, then you have to carry an SR-22 insurance for life. However, statistics show that most DWI violators do not reach the fourth offense. The afterlife is what they reach. But anyway…

If you do not possess your own vehicle, that will not stand in the way of you trashing others’ cars. Ask a car insurance company in your vicinity about a non-owner SR-22 policy, or you can check online for cheap rates. An SR-22 policy will insure that the driver is financially responsible for any accident that will arise even if he or she has shown ruthless behavior on the road. And for the record, bad drivers and cheap insurance policy do not belong in the same sentence. Oops. Well, you get the picture.

What is it they say about drinking and driving? Alcohol and gasoline do not mix. If you’re out to prove otherwise, well, they do mix, but it has a dreadful aftertaste.

I need to know more about SR22 in Kentucky. I got convicted of DUI lately and I have a court order to file SR22. Hope you can help me.

Hello there, Pat.

An SR22 is actually a form that serves like a tracker of the high-risk classified. This shows proof of insurance to the DMV. Unfortunately, it is inevitable that DUI’s and DWI’s will likely raise your car insurance premiums.

There are some cases when the rates go so high that the insured is unable to cover the costs. It will be the burden of the insurance company to inform the DVM that the high-risk driver or SR-22 carrier no longer holds auto insurance. You may verify from Kentucky DVM, but normally, SR-22 will last for 3-5 years. After this period, you will be able to experienced reduced car insurance premium may go down depending on how well your driving history has been.

There are some SR22 insurance companies online that offer services for filing SR22. They will not be judgmental about your situation because their ultimate goal is to get you an SR22 within the day so you will be able to drive again.

A: Yes, you can, although it will depend on the car insurance company you prefer as to whether or not this option is available from them. Most of the larger car insurance companies, and even some smaller local ones, have begun offering Auburn SR22 insurance online.

Many car insurance companies are noticing the profit involved in selling car insurance online, and have begun to give out incentives to customers who choose to do so. Usually this is done in the form of online car insurance discounts, where you can get five to twenty percent off of your insurance policy if you choose to purchase your insurance online.
