Q: I’m very busy, and it’s even worse since I’ve been having to take the bus to work everyday since my license was suspended, and of course the DMV isn’t open on weekends. How am I supposed to get SR22 financial responsibility and get my license back?

A: My husband had the same problem with getting his driver’s license renewed when it was about to expire. He works Monday through Friday from eight a.m. to seven p.m., so obviously that made it impossible for him to go up to the DMV to get his license renewed. As the expiration date was getting close, we randomly checked the DMV website and found that it was possible to get his license through there with a credit card.

Many car insurance companies will file your SR22 financial responsibility form electronically, which will speed things up for you, and once your SR22 is filed, you should be able to pay your fees online. Even if you are unable to do this because of your schedule, there are other routes you can take so that you can get your driver’s license back and stop taking the bus.
