in the u.s., only my home state of NH and Virginia (iirc) don't have insurance requirements. VA seems weird not to have insurance requirements though because all ive heard about the place is troopers live to ticket people for bullshit way above and beyond "normal" places, excepting those southern towns with 420 people and 69 cops who issue $8 million in citations a year

You have to pay a yearly $500 uninsured driver fee in VA if you don't have insurance. If you drop coverage and don't pay they suspend your license and it's a huge pain in the rear end. It's really awesome when you're broke. And yeah central VA is lousy with cops rolling 3 deep on every traffic stop and ticketing for everything.

Yeah that's about what it comes down to. I guess the only edge case who might benefit are people with driving records too lovely to get insurance at all. Paying the uninsured motorist fee doesn't go into a fund for people hit by uninsured drivers or anything though, just raking in cash. Also getting suspended for no insurance means you have to get SR22 insurance where they report to the state every month that you're still insured. More expensive and you have to do it for a couple of years usually.

I live in MD. About ten years ago I got a new car and cancelled my insurance on my old car 3 days sooner than I should have (before I turned the plates back in). The MVA was keeping track, called me and said I had to pay a minor fine (per day).

Similar thing happened to me and now I'm in this limbo zone where I need a driver's license to get insurance and I need insurance to get a driver's license. I'm just going to become a sovereign citizen or get arrested or whatever. Easier than dealing with this poo poo.

VA is really bad when it comes to locking people up for driving on suspended licenses, too. Depends on state. In CA the police systems supposedly can't actually run an insurance check -though they can check a DL and the plates/registration for a vehicle. So someone *could* get insurance before registering, then not renew until their registration was due again.

Now all the cop cars have plate readers so I assume you're turbofucked if your license is suspended or your plates are flagged. VA is really bad when it comes to locking people up for driving on suspended licenses, too. I let my car's registration expire for like 1.5 years over COVID (my only excuse for this is that our DMV has had issues and didn't send out the reminders). I managed to avoid losing my license when I went to get it registered by lying about not driving at all during the pandemic. The only reason this worked is that I had lucked into never getting a ticket over that entire period (which they looked up, since they were reasonably skeptical about my claims). I felt bad because other people there were like "my registration just expired a couple weeks ago and then I got a ticket." In the end I didn't even have to pay any extra fees.

Wafflecopper posted:not having insurance is illegal in the states? and imprisonable? drat When I lived in South Carolina your insurance provider had to certify to the state that you had insurance or they’d cancel your drivers license until you got it back. And driving without a license was an immediate arrest In Oregon the dmv doesn’t care and the cops don’t bother arresting you for driving without a license. So yeah, it just depends where you are just like a lot of criminal laws in the US
