Essentially, it verifies you carry the minimum amount of auto coverage required by law. Sometimes it is called DUI insurance.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:200,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What to Do If You Need One in Georgia<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:200,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">There&#8217;s no denying it: The world of auto policies can be confusing.

Because when you think about it, isn&#8217;t it nice to know that you&#8217;ve got both your car and your apartment covered in one place? This tactic invariably lowers your rates and can make the experience of obtaining rate quotes after a conviction more manageable.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:200,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\" data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"0\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Keep Your Record Clean<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Maintaining a clean record after something like this can be the key to unlocking more affordable rates in the future. It&#8217;s not easy, but it&#8217;s possible. You might want to invest in a defensive-driving course and build a supportive community of people who will hold you accountable. The worst possible thing you can do is get another DUI or drive without following your requirements when you already have a record with the state.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:200,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Keep in mind that your carrier is legally required to report to the state if you have a lapse in coverage for even one day.

You don\u2019t have to suffer high rates forever. Take control of your record and your rates. Show insurers and the state you\u2019re serious about turning your driving record around. That&#8217;s the key to reaching long-term auto policy success.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:200,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The frustration of finding a provider after an SR-22, coupled with higher rates, can be mind-boggling.
