Reader’s Question:

Hello from Pennsylvania! Can anyone help me out here? My teenage son was caught drunk driving and got his insurance cut off. Now he wants to start driving again. Will we still be able to get insurance for him? Is there such a thing as drunk driver insurance?

Hi there Eric. Uh-oh… Drunk driving is not good. Are you sure you want to let your son back on the road so soon? Anyway, there’s still hope for insurance although it will be trickier this time around.

You can also your auto insurance rates to go up because of your son’s tarnished driving record. If your son’s license and registration has been suspended, you will need to ask your automobile insurance company to file an SR-22 in your behalf. This is a legal document that will prove to the Pennsylvania’s Department of Motor Vehicle that you have the proper insurance coverage. This must be maintained for at least three years, and there will be reinstatement fees to be paid. I suggest you look for an insurance company that specializes in serving high-risk insurance drivers and SR-22 filings.

You may also want to look into companies that specialize in teen driving insurance. These companies will be able to provide affordable insurance rates even with your son’s record of drunk driving. How about going to online auto insurance companies websites? You can easily get cheap online auto insurance quotes from these websites free of charge! And please, next time he does go on the road, tell your son to drive safely.
