Frequently asked questions
Showing your policy was in force on the citation date almost always ends the case. A South Dakota attorney from our network can route the proof to the state's attorney and have the charge dismissed without a hearing.
Yes — a Class 2 misdemeanor with up to 30 days jail and a $500 fine, plus a license suspension of 30 days to a year. It's a criminal case worth defending, not a fine to mail in.
After a conviction, South Dakota requires filed proof of financial responsibility — the SR-22 — for three years, which locks you into high-risk pricing. Avoiding the conviction avoids the filing entirely.
Considerably. Prompt coverage plus a clean history is the strongest argument for a reduction or dismissal that spares your license and skips the SR-22.
