Reader’s Question:

I currently have an auto insurance policy with my insurance agent for the next three months. Can I purchase an SR22 as additional auto insurance policy through another insurance provider?

No. I do not see any reason why you should continue paying on one auto insurance policy and purchasing another auto insurance policy. In fact it is actually illegal to have two policies on the same insurable interest in some states.

If your insurance provider can file the SR-22 insurance policy for you, that would be the first course of action. If they cannot, then I suggest that you find an auto insurance policy that has an SR-22, buy it and cancel your existing policy.

Additionally, there is no such thing as SR22 as an additional coverage. An SR-22 is an insurance policy that the state mandated requirement to show proof of auto insurance coverage.
