What Does SR22 in Georgia Do?
Reader’s Question:
What does an SR22 do? My daughter never had a license. He was given a ticket for driving without automobile insurance on the car that he was operating. They said her license will be suspended. How can that be when she does not have a license yet? Now she is required in Albany, Georgia to obtain an SR22.

A SR22 is a certificate that is filed by the automobile insurance provider that shows that you have the car insurance liability insurance (at least the minimum limits of the state such as bodily injury liability and property damage liability) is in place for a certain individual. An SR22 is required when an auto insurance is provided to a person who got involved in an accident or was convicted of a traffic violation and was unable to provide proof of auto liability insurance.
So, if your daughter still lives in Albany, Georgia , she will need to obtain an sr22 insurance policy. To keep that insurance policy in effect she will be required to obtain her driver’s license in the state of Georgia. So, if your daughter lives outside of Georgia, she will need to find an insurance carrier that will offer a Georgia SR22. Most insurance providers will not offer an out-of-state sr22 insurance policy so she may have to obtain an insurance policy through an insurance provider run by the state in which he is living.
Comprehensive Auto Insurance Coverage for Stolen Vehicle in Georgia
Reader’s Question:
I live in Roswell, Georgia and I have a loan on my vehicle. yesterday my vehicle was stolen. I do have comprehensive car insurance. What will happen?
Allan
Roswell, GA
Since you mentioned that you have comprehensive coverage, this coverage covers damages caused by fire, weather, vandalism, floods and theft. If your stolen vehicle will not be recovered , your car insurance provider will settle for the ACV of the car before it was stolen.
If you visit the Georgia Insurance Commissioner site it states there how if your vehicle is a total loss, which a stolen car is since it taken from you, your full coverage through your insurance carrier will pay you what the vehicle was worth based on its ACV.
If you owe more money then the ACV of the car, you will be responsible for the difference of what the automobile’s actual cash value settlement is and the balance of your vehicle loan

If the car that you bought is titled and registered under your daughters name, then she will be able to get car insurance for that vehicle.

Questions About Car Insurance Deductible in Georgia
Reader’s Question:
I have 2 vehicles with full coverage and a deductible on collision coverage. My wife backed into mine damaging both of vehicles. Will I have to pay 2 deductibles? How will this affect my car insurance rate premiums in Georgia?
Carl
Northeast Cobb, GA
Thank you for your question. I’m assuming that you and your wife are insured by the same insurance provider.
If so, some insurance providers waive one of the deductibles if both policyholders are insured by them. I have seen some situations where insurance companies charge both deductibles too. You need to report this loss to your insurance providers if you have not already. You could also ask them about your situation with the insurance claims adjuster. It is up to the verbiage in your auto insurance policy as to if they can charge it or not. Some insurance policies define an incident as a single occurrence while other insurance policies define it as a per auto occurrence.
Each insurance carrier has its own method of evaluating policyholders, so the insurance points on your driving history may or may not have a direct impact on the auto insurance rates you pay for car insurance. The amount of insurance claims and the costs of those insurance claims are also factored into your auto insurance rate in in Northeast Cobb, Georgia.
Will my Auto Insurance Be Affected By Open Container of Alcohol Ticket in Georgia?
Reader’s Question:
My friend received a ticket while driving my car and two other people in the vehicle got tickets as well for open containers of alcohol in Marietta, Georgia. I was not in the car when this happened. Will my insurance be affected?
Cary
Marietta, GA
The tickets received by the driver and passengers in your vehicle in Marietta, Georgia are not likely to affect your auto insurance rates because they were given to the driver and passenger of the car, which you were not one of. It seems like neither the vehicle nor you received any violations so in most states including Georgia there should be nothing to go on your driving record therefore nothing for the insurance carrier to see regarding the incident.
The driver and passenger in your vehicle though have to take care of the tickets they received. Depending in what state the infractions happened, the penalty for the tickets could be $25 to $500. This offense can be considered as a traffic violation or as serious as a misdemeanor. In Georgia, points can be place to your license
