In California, Insurance is mandatory. Yet people still don't have it.
My last truck was lifted 6" over stock. For the most part, there's usually no problem unless some idiot in a car decides to tuck their car under the truck. Especially those little sporty coup types. One day, I felt a weird bump while I was waiting at a left turn. I turned around and it was two girls in a coup with a shocked look on their face and a two foot gouge on their hood. I motioned for them to pull over. When I pulled over, they kept on driving and sped off. The only damage I had was the removal of some rust.
AAnother accident happened two years later when some old guy was looking over his shoulder during a lane change and hit my truck. He hit it so hard that the bumper hit the windhsield and my rear tires were off the ground. Had to engage the front wheels to pull myself off. My truck was fine, but his car was totaled. The police arrived, the police took a report, insurance was exchanged... and I never heard anything from anybody except from my own insurance asking about his insurance information. Turns out he lied about his insurance and forged the documents. Go figure.

In CA is your registration tied to your insurance? In MA you can't register a car without proof of insurance - and when your insurance is cancelled, they notify the RMV, who then cancels your registration. If you don't pay your car insurance you end up driving without insurance AND without registration.

That's how it is here. I can't believe there are still states that don't require auto insurance as law.

NH is the only one around here that doesn't, I think, and that's by choice. Live Free or Die. No state income tax, either.

Its not in WA; insurance is mandatory, but the legislature doesn't have the stones to make it tied to registration of the vehicle. :dunno
