Things to remember at time when you are finding cheap car insurance company in NY.
· The state of New York requires drivers convicted of a DWI to keep an SR-22 insurance policy in force for 3 years.
· The law requires the driver to find an insurance company that will complete and file the SR-22 certificate and then provide them with a liability insurance policy.
· The driver must not cancel the policy or let it lapse, it will result in an immediate suspension of the driver’s license, and they will need to pay a fee and have an SR-22 re-filed in order to get their driving privileges back. 
· A DWI-conviction will stay on a driver’s record for 10-years, forcing them to find high-risk car-insurance-companies, which implies low insurance rates.
· Affordable insurance may be more challenging to find for a drivers having DWI on their record, as it depends among other things on a previous good driving history.
· Therefore it is important to get quotes from several insurance companies.
Does it matter if the DUI happened in another state, holding an SR22 policy was never mentioned and there is only the one infraction that happened almost 4 years ago.
