Drivers need SR-22 insurance in Vermont after being convicted of a serious traffic violation, such as driving without insurance, getting multiple speeding tickets, or getting a DUI Car insurance companies in Vermont are required to file an SR-22 certificate with the state to prove that drivers who are classified as “high-risk” maintain at least the minimum levels of car insurance required by Vermont law. Drivers must maintain their SR-22 coverage for 3 years.
Your first speeding ticket won’t necessarily guarantee that you need an SR-22. Vermont only requires an SR-22 for specific traffic offenses, or accidents that cost more than a certain dollar amount.
Drivers in Vermont Need SR-22 Insurance After
- Suspended, restricted, or revoked license
- At-fault accident without insurance
- DUI / DWI
- Too many license points
As you can see, Vermont only requires an SR-22 for serious traffic offenses. Since each of these violations is serious, insurance companies consider drivers who need an SR-22 to be high-risk customers. That means if you are required to buy SR-22 coverage, insurance companies will charge you more in premiums to offset what they see as the added risk of covering you.
