Have you ever driven with no car insurance?

[miri]

Well, have you? I have always had car insurance since I passed my license test at 16. Ive never had health insurance but my car is insured.

I bought a car once and drove home...otherwise I've always had it.

 

[Slacker]

I had a shady insurance company back date a policy(1 year) for me when the cars finance company wanted proof of coverage.

 

[Rockhound]

Nope illegal and expensive if you don't have it.

 

[meltdown75]

I did some stupid sh!t when I was younger. So yeah. No insurance, expired plates, etc. You name it.

I believe you don't have to have insurance if you can prove that you have over x dollars in the bank.

 

[meltdown75]

I think the going fee for getting caught w/o insurance here is $5000. owie

i drove a car for about 7 months that was borrowed and had no insurance in the car. I figured that if i got pulled over they would just arrest me for stealing it.

if you bought it off the lot there the dealership usually insures you for 30 days....

That's correct.

I believe here in Michigan it's $300K that they will put a hold on which won't allow you withdraw the funds.

I always drive with insurance, car and motorcycle both insured before driving home.

Nope! It's illegal and I'd rather pre-pay for my accidents than pay them in one lump sum

When I bought my last car, I called and added it to my insurance policy while the salesman was filling out the purchase paperwork

 

[cjgallen]

No, but I've been hit by people with no insurance :|

 

Never. I look at car insurance as a prerequisite to starting the engine on a car. Plus, it's the law here in MI.

 

[Albis]

gotta be safe. gotta have insurance

 

[mwtgg]

I dunno, ask this shmuck.

 

[SuperPickle]

Yes, but only because my payment was hung up in the mail for three or four days around renewal time. I was technically without insurance for a few days, but I've never gone without it purpousfully.

 

[RaDragon]

Yup, pre-insurance-requirement in CA, I'd drive it sans insurance. Of course, that was prolly only for a month or two until I actually finally applied to get car insurance.

[brtspears2]

Always have drove with insurance.

 

[Schneider879]

Never drove w/o insurance.

 

[MazerRackham]

Yes, but only because I missed 2 months of payments and didn't notice until I got a letter from Mercury. After that, I switched to AAA because Mercury pissed me off!!

Of course it was their fault that I missed my payments!
