Reader’s Question:

My father has been required by court to get SR22 car insurance because of his DUI conviction in Melbourne, Florida. How does this work and is this another insurance policy that he would have to carry?

Your father has been considered a higher risk by any insurance company because of his DUI conviction in Melbourne, Florida. He needs SR22 insurance on file with the state as it is required by court for him to have it. He would probably have to pay more on his car insurance than most drivers. SR22 will serve as a proof of insurance to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV). SR22 is not another insurance policy he would have to carry, but rather his insurance company would usually charge or add a certain amount to his policy for SR22 insurance. He would have to dish put more for his car insurance. The SR22 insures drivers of one less uninsured motorist on the road and better protection for vehicles and property.

Florida SR22 car insurance is required for a period of 3 years after a DUI conviction and can be very expensive if you go with the wrong provider. I assure you that you can get an online SR22 insurance quote for your insurance policy from this site.
