What else? Expect heavy fines for driving without insurance as you would pose as a risk for endangering yourself and common motorists. It is considered as violation of state laws since the state mandates every citizen to carry minimum liability insurance before he/she can drive.

Usually, penalty for driving without insurance vary from state to state. Some impose heavy fines, some not. You could also expect holding and impounding of your vehicle, your vehicle tag seized, and your license suspended. Also, it is definite that the state will require you to carry SR22 auto insurance since you are unable to show them financial responsibility. Usually, they will require you to carry this insurance for a period of not less than three years. It is also needed in order to retain validity of your license.

Worse come to worst if you were caught driving without insurance and have been involved in an accident. You could face jail time and would also be exposing yourself to both legal and financial constraints–the burden of paying damages and injuries out of your own pocket. To avoid the hassle of going through this, it would be wise to get yourself insured.

SR-22 Auto Insurance

Reader’s Question:

Do I still need an sr22 if I have a full coverage in my car? I live in VT.

Thank you for asking Bea.

If you have been ordered that you are required to carry an SR-22 or financial responsibility certificate in Vermont, you will likely have to continue to maintain it even if you have insurance coverages beyond what it requires of you. The Vermont DMV states that an individuals that are ordered to file a SR22 certificate must carry it and have it on file with the department of motor vehicles for a minimum of three years without any lapses.

If you have not violated any VT laws and have not been mandated to acquire an SR-22 than your full coverage, which should include the minimum liability limits plus comprehensive and collision coverage, that should be enough to cover your vehicle. The minimum liability limits for Vermont are bodily injury $25,000 for one person up to $50,000 per accident and $10,000 for property damage in one accident.

Goodluck!
