In Indiana, an SR22 auto insurance is a required insurance coverage specifically for high risk drivers. It is required by law that any motorist needs to carry at least the minimum amount of liability insurance required in the state. For those who have had their licenses suspended, due to major violations such as DUI/DWI or driving uninsured, an additional requirement is added in the form of the SR22 car insurance. This type of form has to be filed every month with the Bureau of Motor Vehicles by your auto insurance carrier. Failure to file this form when mandated, will have your license suspended. An SR22 auto insurance in Indiana is required to be maintained for three years after the date of the initial suspension.
As for the insurance requirements involved with SR22 insurance, it is the same as what is required of any drivers in Indiana. The following are the minimum liability requirements:
- at least $25,000 worth liability coverage for bodily injury to 1 person.
- at least $50,000 worth liability coverage for all bodily injuries.
- at least $10,000 worth liability coverage for property damage.
Car insurance companies suggest you get more than that.

Once your daughter have carried the learners permit for a certain amount of time she can apply for a driver’s license. If your daughter carries only a learner’s permit then she would have to wait until he is at least sixteen years old and 180 days old to obtain a driver’s license. If she would have started with an education learner’s permit then she could apply for a driver’s license when she is at least sixteen years and thirty days old.
To get more information about the licensing process in the state of Indiana you may contact the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. Make certain that when your daughter does start driving with a permit that you tell your insurance provider.
