Anish Shah : Illinos : I already screwed up and got caught driving over the limit. Fortunately, no one got hurt. But now what do I do? I was also drunk driving since it was New Year’s night”

Response : Happy New Year to all my blog readers and to you also. First, don´t even try to “have a memory lapse” when you are buying auto insurance and fail to mention a previous DUI or drunk driving . It will stay on your Motor Vehicle Report and follows you forever. The insurance company WILL find out and adjust your rate higher. This is unavoidable. In fact you can even be penalised for misrepresenting a fact to the insurance company and hence your DUI car insurance rate can be hiked.

Second, be sure to check your SR-22 status. SR22 is not a type of insurance. It is the name of a particular form that insurance companies file with the Secretary of State and is required if your license is suspended or revoked.

An SR-22 insurance policy is a certificate of insurance that shows the Secretary of State proof of insurance for the future, as required by law. SR-22 is a motor vehicle liability insurance which requires the insurance company to certify coverage to the Division of Motor Vehicles. The insurance company must notify the DMV any time the policy is canceled, terminated or lapses.

If your SR22 endorsed Auto Insurance Policy cancels, lapses or expires for any reason, the insurer is required by law to send an SR22 Filing to the state DMV notifying them that you are once again no longer in compliance with the states´ Financial Responsibility laws. In the event your policy is cancelled, the state can suspend your driver´s license. This requirement is often, if not always, continued for a three year period.

Change your habits and don´t get behind the wheel after and avoid drunk driving at all cost. Please read my articles on how to get cheap sr22 insurances. Get help.

Andrew : I have been involved in a lot of driving offences and with the insurance rates so high for DUI/DWI and other offences, I find buying auto insurance unnecessary?

Response:. Andrew, this is not correct especially for high risk driver. Imagine getting a secrutiy of $1 million for a few thousand dollors is not at all a bad bargian. Auto insurance protects you against financial loss if you have an accident. It is a contract between you and the insurance company. You agree to pay the premium and the insurance company agrees to pay your losses as defined in your policy. Auto insurance provides property, liability and medical coverage:

• Property coverage pays for damage to or theft of your car.
• Liability coverage pays for your legal responsibility to others for bodily injury or property damage.
• Medical coverage pays for the cost of treating injuries, rehabilitation and sometimes lost wages and funeral expenses.

An auto insurance policy is comprised of six different kinds of coverage. Most states require you to buy some, but not all, of these coverages. If you’re financing a car, your lender may also have requirements. Most auto policies are for six months to a year. Your insurance company should notify you by mail when it’s time to renew the policy and to pay your premium.

Please compare the quotes online you will definetly find affordable DUI Sr22 car insurance also, since there are specialized companies who sell these insurances only.
