If any states I would have thought those two would have some outrageous minimums.
In two states, New Hampshire and Virginia, insurance is totally optional, you just have to show means to be able to self insure. I'm assuming this is on paid for cars though.
Here's a listing by state. |
I grew up in Virginia, at the time it was $500 to be uninsured. No proof you could afford anything more than the $500 "fine".
I'm on the receiving end of this situation. T-boned in my old pickup a few years back when a lady ran a red light. Not her car, no license, no insurance, etc etc etc. I get a check for $75 every month from the Missoula County court. The body shop quote was $3200-ish. Assuming the judgement was for the full amount, I'll keep receiving a check for another 3 years.
