Zyko is the research editor behind ClearRoad Guide. Every figure on the site is checked against a state DMV/BMV/DPS page or an insurer's own disclosure before it's published — and where two sources disagree, both are shown with their origin instead of averaged into a number nobody confirmed.

How I work

I don't write from memory or rewrite what other insurance sites already say. For every state guide, I start at the agency that actually sets the rule — the DMV, BMV, DPS, or Secretary of State — and read the requirement and the filing period straight from the source before writing a word. Cost figures come from named, independent comparison data and insurers' own disclosures, each cited where it appears.

What I won't do

I don't publish a single "average" when two credible sources disagree — I show both numbers with their origin and let you see the spread. I don't invent review scores or star ratings, I don't give individualized legal advice, and I don't treat a quoted rate as a guarantee. The goal is to make the rules and the real cost of an SR-22 clear, not to sell you a policy — ClearRoad Guide is an independent editorial resource and isn't an insurance agency.

Coverage so far

I currently maintain 59 guides across 5 sections, including 27 state-by-state breakdowns. Each is dated and updated when a state changes its rules. See the Editorial Policy for the full sourcing and correction process, or get in touch to flag anything out of date.
