God, fuck this person.
Nice of him to put a sign on his car listing the laws he's breaking.
Probably not all of them, though.
Did you know that in New Hampshire you aren't required to have car insurance? Sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing...
You aren’t either in Virginia. The DMV charges a yearly $500 fee for you to keep your license active but…..yea.
You don't need it in AZ too, but you have to post a bond with the state.
I believe most if not all states allow a bond in place of insurance but it's a huge amount so I bet hardly anyone does it
Not all states do
Mississippi only requires $10,000
Maine requires the most at $127,000

NH where the state motto is “live free or die”

Where property taxes are based on views.
Yes, that’s why uninsured motorist coverage is so expensive here in Massachusetts. You can’t squeeze blood from a turnip, or responsibility for their actions from a “free citizen”.
But sure, keep believing that dodging your responsibility has no effect on others
What is the penalty in the US for driving an uninsured car?
Where I am at, "Law enforcement officers may ask to see your insurance card during a traffic stop or at the scene of a car accident. If you can't show proof that you have a policy, you may be charged with a Class C misdemeanor, which is punishable by a fine of $300. Additionally, the officer can choose to have your vehicle towed.Feb 14, 2024"
So if they tow your car for not having insurance your fees will likely go up fairly fast. Usually up to $150 towing plus a fee per day that it is there. Varies by area.
That's cheap. Here it is a criminal offense, which can lead up to fines of 180 days of income, half a year behind bars, and loss of the driving license. Well, and of course this car cannot be driven anymore, so either you get it towed or you get an insurance voucher.
It varies by state. In Ohio it's basically a fine and they take away your car, license, and registration until you get minimum liability insurance. That is
$25,000 for bodily injury per person $50,000 for bodily injury per accident $25,000 property damage
Depends on state. In mine there is none technically.
