American Insure-All® can help you with your DUI auto insurance in Stanwood. Being found guilty of driving under the influence has serious and long lasting effects on important areas of your life, including your ability to obtain car insurance via means of filing an SR22 certificate.
In 2011, Washington state passed legislation stating, “It is illegal for anyone to drive a vehicle in Washington State while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.” If stopped, and found to be under the influence, an additional legislation called “Hailey’s Law” requires car towing for all DUI arrests. The vehicle will then be impounded for 12 hours but can be released to a registered owner who was not present at the time of the arrest.
An additional ruling called “implied consent” means that if you are operating a motor vehicle, you can be required to take a
- breathalyzer exam
- a blood test, and
- a field sobriety test.
A first offense is considered a misdemeanor, a second a gross misdemeanor, but a third offense carries heavy penalties including jail time, fines, and revocation of driver’s license for up to four years, followed by a probationary license for five years. In addition to all of these things, when you are allowed to drive again, your vehicle insurance is likely to be substantially more expensive. In fact, Nerd Wallet estimates that your vehicle insurance can cost as much as 2.5 times the amount carried by a driver who has a clean driving record. That can present quite a financial burden.

When our previous insurance provider decided to make a change in our career we were a little anxious. We had become accustomed to being on a first-name basis and getting quick responses to our requests. Little did we know at the time we had nothing to worry about as American Insure-All has more than met our previous expectations. Don and his team have been quick to respond to our needs and provide us with the peace of mind that we were looking for in a provider.
