Driving with insurance is necessary by law. However, many people all over the United States do not have vehicle insurance. Every state varies on the penalty for driving without insurance on a vehicle. Most of the time the reasons for people not having insurance on their cars is because they do not have the money or do not drive enough to put insurance on the vehicle. Many drive anyway and just try to avoid the risk of getting caught. If you are caught driving without insurance, your car can be impounded and your tags can be seized. Many states have heavy fines that may end up being a few hundred dollars. The penalties for driving without insurance are higher if you get into an accident. If you injure a person or hit another person’s car in an accident you are forced to pay the medical bills and car repairs out of pocket. The fines are still the same if your insurance has expired and you have not had a chance to get it renewed.
