Thats a good question Artchee.

There are different reasons why an individual is required to carry an sr-22. It differs from different states. Generally, it is provided to a person convicted of major traffic offenses and was unable to show any proof of financial responsibility.

The form varies in different state and requirements.Here are the following offenses associated with sr-22:

1. Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
2. Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) or any moving violations
3. getting too many tickets in a short time period
4. suspended license
5. Driving without insurance

It is part of the reinstatement process and is the reason why a person is required to get an sr-22 after your license has been suspended, cancelled or terminated. This can also include suspension for repeat offenses of any traffic violations or due to being in child support payments.

All of these depends on the state laws. So if you want to know more information or specific reasons why an individual would be required to carry an sr-22, you may check with your state Department of Motor Vehicle.

Goodluck!
