If\u00a0you\u2019ve\u00a0recently received a DUI or reckless driving charge in\u00a0Alabama, you may have been told you need\u00a0SR-22<\/a>\u00a0insurance to get your license reinstated. This requirement can feel\u00a0overwhelming, but\u00a0understanding how SR-22s\u00a0work and navigating your obligations appropriately does not have to be difficult. At Global Insurance and Services,\u00a0we\u2019re\u00a0ready to help.<\/p>\n

What Is SR-22 Insurance?<\/h2>\n

Despite commonly being referred to as\u00a0SR-22\u00a0insurance, this term does\u00a0not actually\u00a0refer to\u00a0a\u00a0type of\u00a0insurance policy. Rather, an SR-22 is\u00a0a certificate your insurance company files with the state to prove you carry the\u00a0minimum\u00a0required auto liability coverage. In\u00a0Alabama, drivers with certain violations or repetitive issues\u00a0are often required to\u00a0file an SR-22\u00a0before being allowed to legally drive.<\/p>\n

Why Is SR-22 Required After a DUI or Reckless Driving Charge?<\/h2>\n

The state of\u00a0Alabama\u00a0uses the SR-22 filing to monitor high-risk drivers and\u00a0make sure\u00a0they maintain continuous insurance coverage.\u00a0If\u00a0you\u2019ve\u00a0been convicted of a DUI or reckless driving,\u00a0you may be ordered to file one of these documents, as such offenses often lead authorities to believe\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0a risky motorist. Once filed,\u00a0the SR-22 serves as proof to the\u00a0state\u00a0that\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0meeting your legal obligations.\u00a0Failing to maintain\u00a0your SR-22\u00a0as ordered\u00a0can result in license suspension, requirement\u00a0extension\u00a0and\u00a0other\u00a0penalties.<\/p>\n

How Does SR-22 Affect Your Insurance?<\/h2>\n

Needing an SR-22 typically means\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0considered a high-risk driver, which can\u00a0impact\u00a0your insurance rates.\u00a0As such, you may have to pay\u00a0more for\u00a0coverage both during your SR-22 requirement period and even in the years after.\u00a0However, by working with a\u00a0qualified\u00a0insurance professional, such as those at Global Insurance and Services, you may be\u00a0better positioned\u00a0to find\u00a0affordable\u00a0rates.<\/p>\n
