Violations such as DUI’s (Driving Under the Influence), falsifying insurance documents, or operating a vehicle with a suspended license can result in serious criminal and civil punishments. Often these penalties include the suspension or loss of your license. Losing your license can make your life very difficult, especially if a car is your only means of transportation around Sonoma County.

Before you can regain your ability to drive, you may need to file an SR22 certificate with the California DMV. SR stands for “Safety Responsibility” as this certificate confirms that you have enough insurance coverage to meet state requirements for driving liability. A judge ultimately determines whether you need this certificate based on the type and quantity of your violations. The requirements will vary depending on whether the license reinstated is your original one or restricted.

Cost of SR22 Compliant Insurance in Sonoma County, California

You've probably already figured out that because of your violation, your insurance rates are going to increase. Before you balk at having to pay the large increase with your current insurance company, don't forget that Breathe Easy Insurance is on your side. You may be surprised to discover that our rates are quite a bit lower than what you would get most other places.

Pay attention to the length of time that you're required to have your SR22 certificate. This can range from a minimum of three years to as many as ten years, depending on your violation. You must continue to pay your insurance premiums without lapse throughout that entire period. If you miss a payment, your insurance carrier will be required to notify the DMV and your driving privileges may be revoked. You won't get your license back until you take care of the missing premiums and re-file the SR22 certificate.

If you manage to steer clear of incidents and violations throughout the entire time, you may be entitled to buy standard car insurance afterward. Your high SR22 rates will then be replaced by your regular premiums, which will be lower.
