FL sr22 insurance
Reader’s Question:
The period to carry an sr22 starts at the time that you were notified to carry it or it starts when you start your sr22 coverage? I live in FL.

Thank you for asking Jimmy.
The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (HSMV) states that , Florida drivers can be required to provide this Department with proof of PIP/property damage liability insurance coverage based on
a. cancellations of coverage,
b. accidents involving property
c. damages where no proof of coverage was evidenced at the scene,
d. when registering or renewing a vehicle registration,
e. and court-ordered suspensions.
The three years starts from the date you first get the SR-22 and maintain continuous coverage. If you allow the sr22 to cancel or lapse during those 3 years then the 3 year period starts from the date you begin again.
Since the required time period for carrying an SR-22 may vary so can the start date, so I would suggest that you contact the FL HSMV to find out the when the 3 year time period started for your requirement to carry the SR22.
Goodluck!
