I Need SR22 Auto Insurance For Reckless Driving Charge

Reader’s Question:

I was charged with reckless driving in East Seattle, Washington, and was ordered to obtain an SR22 form. It has been almost four years now and I still have the sr-22 certificate. I know I was only required to have it for just three years. Do I need to do something to remove the sr22?

It seems like that you were required to carry proof of Financial Responsibility (SR-22) Insurance Form to reinstate your license after a revocation or suspension due to a reckless driving violation. But you are correct that a person in this case normally needs to carry SR-22 insurance for three years.

To verify if your period for carrying an SR-22 for your reckless driving violation is up already you should contact the Washington Department of Licensing (DOL) or other state agency in East Seattle that required you to carry the SR-22. If your time period for holding the SR-22 form is over then the DOL or other Washington department should be able to help you what steps to take in order take off carrying this certificate of insurance.
