I’ve done some research to make sure I’ll be giving you the correct information and found out the legalities involving SR22 insurance. From what I’ve learned, SR22 is a means for the state of Illinois to check the car insurance of “problem” drivers.
Going back to your question, you friend needs SR22 insurance in Chicago because of any of the following reasons:
