Drunk Driving SR22 Loveland Colorado CO
Reader’s Question:
How long are you required to carry SR22 auto insurance because of a DUI in Colorado? I have insurance in Loveland CO.
Pete
Loveland, CO
The state of Colorado requires a SR-22, a financial responsibility certificate, be acquired when you are convicted of drunk driving. The sr-22 certificate itself is not an insurance policy, but instead is a guarantee by the insurance provider that you will keep insurance in effect for a certain period.
If you are required to have an SR22 form and do not keep the SR22 certificate current, the insurance provider will notify the Colorado Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) at which point your drivers license will be suspended.
The amount of time that are required to have the SR-22 is typically three years. According to Colorado legislator under some case, such as those with an alcohol related driving violation, it could be for a different period, as long as the insured’s license has been restraint.
So it would seem that the SR-22 form would have to be maintained for either three years or for a period equal to the duration of your license suspension or revocation in Loveland, CO. To verify for sure you can contact the Colorado Motor Vehicle Division.

Auto Insurance Clifton New Jersey NJ
Reader’s Question:
If I co-sign for an car loan in Clifton, New Jersey and the primary on the loan does not carry auto insurance, will I be responsible in the case of an accident?
Ben
Clifton, NJ
If you co-sign on a loan it is likely that you could be held responsible if there was an accident and the car was not properly insured. As a co-signer you are partly responsible for those who drive the vehicle and what happens while they are driving by what is called vicarious liability.
The financial institution that is the lien holder on the car will usually require collision and comprehensive coverage above the state’s mandatory liability auto insurance. This way their investment is the car is protected. If the insurance lapses on the car they might decide to take out insurance on the car themselves and add the cost, which will be high, to the loan.

Reader’s Question:
Ive had an sr22 auto insurance on file for the past five years but I think I dont need it anymore. I live in California and havent had a ticket or any traffic violation in five years. How will I find out if I still need an sr22 in California?
Jim
Los Angeles, CA
The most effective way to know if you still need an SR22 is to contact the Department of Motor Vehicles in the state of California. You may contact the California DMV can be reached at 1 (800) 777-0133.
You may visit your local drivers license office in CA.
I suggest that you contact the DMV because laws and rules are very arbitrary when it comes to an SR22 insurance policy. In most states you can use the internet to verify our license requirements.
