SR22 Auto Insurance Explained
Reader’s Question:
My friend is required to have an SR22 financial responsibility form and I added him as an additional driver to my insurance policy and they issued a SR22 to the state, is he now covered to drive other cars?
George

Your friend should be able to operate any vehicle now if his license is valid and filing the SR22 was the only thing required of him by law to start driving again. He/She should be covered to operate other cars as long as the car owner’s insurance provider does not have an exclusion or issue about it.
The SR-22 provides liability coverage only so it would not cover any physical damage to the car he is driving. The owner of the car that he is driving would be the primary insurance coverage on the vehicle.

Thank you for asking Leah.
The SR22 form is something that the insurance carrier has and will file once you have purchased the car insurance required of you by the state. This form may be given to Policyholders to take to the license office. In some cases, it can be downloaded online or mailed. Some insurance carriers offer instant SR-22s, while other require it to be filed before mailing it to you.
If you are mandated to file an SR-22, then you should contact your liability insurance company and inform them of the needed filing with our state. The sr22 form must be filed by an insurance carrier licensed through your state’s insurance regulatory body normally.
If you are not able to find a carrier that can file the SR22 for you then check with your state’s insurance regulator who should be able to advise you where to find an insurance company in your area that you can obtain the required insurance from and file the SR22 form on your behalf.
Goodluck!
