Firstly, it means that you have a suspended license which you may or may not be aware of. Kansas requires anyone moving to notify the Driver Control Bureau within 10 days of any change of address. The bureau is only responsible of mailing the suspension notice to the last address filed with the department and not with tracking down if the address is still valid.
For a driving while suspended conviction, Kansas law requires 90 day license suspension in addition to the suspension term prior to this conviction. Remember that initially, you are already entitled to a license suspension prior to this conviction. So after you have cleared up the primary reason of your suspension notice, you should expect to have 90 days more of suspension for driving while suspended conviction.
This conviction will also require you to file for a proof of liability coverage in the form of SR22 insurance. In Kansas, you need to maintain your SR22 for a period of twelve consecutive months. The Kansas Driver Control Bureau will also require you to pay a reinstatement fee of $100 or $300 depending upon your driving record.
Under the Kansas Habitual Driving Statute, three similar convictions within a five year period will revoke your license for three years. So the next time you will be moving to another location in Kansas, do not fail to notify the Driver Control Bureau of Kansas so as not to get the same offense.
Although filing for SR22 insurance is most likely to be expensive due to the high risk involve, there is no reason for you at all not to avail of low cost SR22 insurance rates in Kansas. The insurance industry has highly competitive environment and rates can vary greatly from one insurer to another. We suggest of getting multiple quotes online and choose a company that offers the lowest SR22 insurance rates. You not only get to save hundreds but you also get to instantly get your SR22 filed in just a matter of minutes.
