Auto insurance companies do not require drivers to file an SR-22, however, the DMV does. If you have been caught of driving without insurance or you have been convicted of a DUI you may be required to file an SR-22 with the DMV to prove you maintain continuous auto insurance coverage. SR-22's are proof of financially responsibility. By filing this form, your insurance company will notify the DMV when your policy lapses or is cancelled.
SR-1
California law requires traffic accidents on a California street/highway or private property to be reported to the DMV within 10 days f there was an injury, death or property damage in excess of $750. Untimely reporting could result in DMV suspending a driver license. Accidents involving vehicles not required to be registered such as off-road vehicle (OHV), imlement husbandry, or snowmibile or occurring on a military base or occurring on the driver's own property involving only the personal property of the driver and there was no injury or death are not reportable.The law requires the driver to file the SR-1 form with DMV regardless of fault. This report must be made in addition to any other report filed with a law enforcement agency, insurance company, or the California Highway Patrol (CHP) as their reports do not satisfy the filing requirement. An insurance agent, attorney, or other designated representative may file the report for the driver.The above paragraphs appear on the back of the SR-1 form.
Yes, an SR22 and an SR-22 are the same thing
If you are involved in a collision where a person is injured or killed, or where $750 or more of property damage has occurred regardless who is at fault and whether or not a police report was made, you must file an SR-1 report with the DMV within ten days of the collision.Another View: There is no 'standard' answer to this question. Every US state sets its own rules and regulations.

"SR-22 Insurance" is auto insurance that has been endorsed by an SR-22.This endorsement is added to your auto-insurance policy and informs the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or the Secretary of State that you comply with the state's minimum requirements for auto insurance.The SR-22 certificate does not affect the cost of your insurance. However, the SR-22 is needed when you have a serious violation, which can affect your risk and which may result in higher insurance rates.The primary reason for the SR-22 requirement is the failure to comply with your state's financial-responsibility (insurance) law. Other violations can include DUIs, drug possession, vehicular assault, and those involving negligence or severe endangerment of other drivers or pedestrians.If the SR-22-endorsed auto-insurance policy has expired or has been canceled, the insurer must file an SR-26, which is a cancellation of your SR-22 certificate. If the filing period has not expired, the state may suspend your driver's license, and your license plates can be confiscated for failure to comply with the SR-22 requirement. If your insurer has cancelled your insurance, you will need to find an insurer who is willing to issue a new SR22 to have your license reinstated.
California's SR-1 is a traffic accident report form.
NO, It's just the opposite. An SR22 Filing does not Get your License Suspended, But rather "Failing to get the SR22 Filing from Your Auto Insurance Company" after a serious violation is what causes your license to get suspended.
Not if you don't own a car unless your license is dependent on an SR-22 filing.
