SR22 Auto Insurance Nebraska NE
Reader’s Question:
I am 17, and I was charged with a DUI 6 months ago in Nebraska. I am now trying to purchase a vehicle and am not familiar with how an SR22 works. The court never told me that I was required to get one. Is it something that I must have just for being convicted of a DUI or, does the court have to issue it? In other words, does getting a DUI automatically mandates me to get an sr22?

By definition, a sr-22 is a certificate which must be filed by the insurance carrier stating that car liability insurance is in force for a particular individual. It is required by the the state of Nebraska when insurance is provided to a person who was in an accident or was convicted of a moving offense and was unable to show proof of financial responsibility at that time. Therefore, you will need to show proof of financial responsibility at the time you received your DUI. If not, your state will probably force you to have an sr-22 and its liability insurance. To verify if you will need this coverage, you will need to speak with your state’s Department of Motor Vehicles.
