If convicted of a DUI, you will not only have to worry about how the penalties and fines which the courts place upon you. There is another organization which may also take action...

... Your Auto Insurance Carrier.

Your insurance company will be required to file a form SR-22 (future proof of insurance) for at least 3 years. This is done primarily for two reasons. To ensure you are not driving a vehicle without auto insurance, and to ensure you current auto insurance carrier or future auto insurance carriers are fully aware of your DUI conviction, so they can make the necessary adjustments to your premiums.

An insurance carrier may lawfully react to your DUI conviction by:

• Increasing your rates

• Cancel your policy mid-term

• Cancel your policy at the end of your policy term.

Another burden you may face: According to Florida law, if your insurance policy is cancelled, you will not be able to lift an existing suspension on your license.

The cancellation of your insurance policy will appear on your insurance claims history, making it even harder to find an insurance carrier to offer you an policy, not to mention one that is affordable, as you may be tagged as a high rick policy holder.

Do not fall into the trap which many Orlando and Central Florida residents do. Do not attempt to drive a vehicle without insurance and / or a suspended license. If pulled over, the results can be devastating to you and possibly your family.
