Florida SR22 Insurance

Reader’s Question:

If I am required to get an SR22 insurance in Florida, when does it start? Does it start from the time of my license suspension or three years after I purchased an SR22 insurance from my car insurance company?

According to the Florida Responsibility Law in the state of Florida, an individual is required to have bodily injury liability insurance if:

• An accident occured that caused injuries and you where found at fault
• Drivers license suspension due to getting to many points in your record
• DUI conviction that resulted in drivers license revocation
• Habitual traffic offender that resulted in drivers license suspension or revocation
• drivers license revocation for any serious offense

If you get involved in any of the offense above and you do not have the required liability insurance required by the state of Florida, it will result to drivers license suspension for three years.

To be able to have your driver slicense reinstated, you will have to do the following:

1. pay $15 fee
2. provide proof of financial responsibility certificate or sr22 insurance

To verify this, you may contact the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicle and ask them the time period you will be required to get sr22.
