What is SR-22?
SR-22 is a form or document that is filed as proof that you meet your state’s minimum liability insurance requirements. SR stands for ‘safety responsibility’, and truly, this document, as provided by your insurance company, certifies that you have financial responsibility and liability coverage in case of a road mishap.
Understandably, people mistakenly think that SR-22 insurance in Colorado Springs is a type of insurance. While it does act like an insurance policy in that it is provided by your insurance company and has something to do with liability coverage, an SR-22 insurance is simply a document or form filed with your state that shows that your auto insurance policy meets the minimum liability coverage required by law. It is a requisite for those whose driver’s licenses have been suspended or revoked for certain reasons, usually for driving-related violations.
Not every motorist needs an SR-22. As mentioned earlier, there are certain circumstances where an SR-22 shall be required. In general, a driver who is considered “high risk” under the law and by insurance companies before he or she is to be required an SR-22. Usually, and in the state of Colorado, drivers are considered “high risk” if they have had their driver’s license suspended for the following reasons:
- Serious driving violations such as speeding or reckless driving
- Driving on a suspended, revoked, or expired driver’s license
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol or both
- Excessive traffic tickets
- Presenting false documents
- Failure to provide a valid proof of insurance
In addition to these driving-related causes, other common circumstances that would lead to an SR-22 insurance requirement are involvement in child support or neglect cases, or if ordered by the court through court orders and other legal judgments.
