What would happen if you got caught driving without an SR-22 when your state requires it?

What happens if you get caught driving without an SR-22 when it's required by your state? I need to get an SR-22 endorsement after getting in a few accidents over the past year but I don't want to pay for it needlessly.

  • Incur fines up to $500
  • Have your license revoked (and you might have to wait months or even a year for it to be reinstated)

car insurance
