An SR-22 follows something that already happened on the road. These are the state’s counts for Compton.
- Driver 21 to 34 had been drinking

83rd of 103 in OTS size group C (1 = worst) — better than most.

An SR-22 is not a type of insurance. It is a certificate your carrier files with the California DMV proving you carry at least state-minimum liability, usually required after a suspension, a DUI, too many points or an at-fault accident while uninsured. Auto World writes the policy and sends the filing for Compton drivers.
Compton & Los Angeles County
The average one-way commute in Compton runs about 30 minutes, and mileage is one of the few rating factors you can actually change. 10.3% of Compton commuters spend an hour or more getting to work each way, which is a different risk picture from a short local drive. 3.6% of Compton workers get to work on public transit, so plenty of people here drive occasionally rather than daily. 4.3% of Compton workers now work from home — and if your car stopped commuting, your policy should say so, because annual miles are part of the rate. The state's own crash rankings recorded 689 people killed or injured on Compton roads in a single year, which is the number your liability limits are really there for. 48 pedestrians were killed or injured here in the same year, and pedestrian claims are exactly where a thin liability limit runs out.
