I’m just curious, what are the reasons for me to get SR22 insurance coverage in Washington?

I’m glad you asked. We believe its important for everyone who operates a car to know what actions or reasons would require them to file for an SR22. Just by being aware of these reasons would already increase your chances of being more conscious about your driving, and hopefully prevent you from having to get your license suspended and file an SR22 for reinstatement in the future. Here are the common reasons why you may be asked to file an SR22 form:

1. DUI (Driving Under the Influence) or DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) arrests and convictions.
2. Driving with an expired/ invalid drivers license.
3. Driving without adequate auto insurance coverage.
4. Accumulating too many driving violations or citations such as speeding, reckless driving etc. and getting too many points against your license within a relatively short-period of time, normally one year.
5. Being at-fault in causing any number of major car accidents and being unable to show car insurance coverage afterwards.
6. Drivers with poor driving records, or with very risky driving behaviors.

It is also good to note that you may be required to pay certain penalties and fees to get your license back. It may also take up to 30 days for your SR22 to get processed and submitted to your state Department of Motor Vehicles Office. You would also need to maintain full and continuous SR22 insurance coverage for the next couple of years to avoid further penalties.

Good question, Jeremy, and actually one that we all have to be educated in. There are three general reasons why you should bother with auto insurance. First, it is required by the Department of Motor Vehicles when you register your car. You will be required a minimum liability coverage while other auto insurance coverage are optional. Of course, you can always upgrade your auto insurance when you are more financially capable. To get an idea of how much liability insurance and other auto insurance costs in East Seattle Washington WA, you can try making use of the space provided on this page. Just enter your zip code, answer a couple of questions and you will get several quotes in minutes.

If you have purchased your car from an auto loan, you will also be required to have auto insurance. the last reason, which can be the most important, is that auto insurance protects you from having to spend tremendous amount of money in cases of auto or vehicular accidents causing bodily harm or damages to the car. And depending on the kind of auto insurance you will get in East Seattle Washington WA, you will even be protected from hail, fire, theft, vandalism and any incidents which you have totally no control over.

I would like to know when auto insurance companies in Washington check driving records?

An insurance carrier in Spokane, WA can check your driving record anytime. The most common times that they check your driving records are:

• when you apply initially for auto insurance coverage
• when you request a change to your car insurance policy such as adding or removing drivers, change auto insurance coverage, etc.
• when you add a car to your car insurance policy or change the covered car
• when your car insurance policy comes up for renewal
• every two renewal cycles

Some insurance providers use a random method for checking driving records. Other insurance providers randomly spot check some car insurance policy records at the above intervals. This isn’t common, however it may happen with some car insurance companies.
