Auto Insurance Laws - What You Should Know
Laws can be confusing sometimes. How much coverage is you required to have? What is the minimum amount? Do you have to have liability? What if you drive to other states? The questions are endless and it can be confusing at times.
To answer these questions, call your insurance agent. They will have all the best information about state and regional laws that involve you and your vehicle. It's their job to know all this and help you with it. Before you call, make sure you have all your questions ready so you don't forget.
Basic rule is that each state has a minimum requirement for the auto insurance coverage you need to have for certain situations. The three types of coverage is injury to another, injury to all people, and damage to property.
The general rule is that you need proper coverage for the states you drive through as well. If the state you're traveling through needs more coverage than you have, it's your responsibility to extend the coverage for the states you travel through.
States have different liability laws involving motor cycles and scooters. If you're strapped for cash and you can't afford insurance, simply check out the state's laws about these vehicles. In Washington, you don't need insurance to drive a motorcycle.
You must keep proof of insurance on you at all times. If you were pulled over, you are required to provide it. If you don't, then you must appear in court and show proof or you will be fined heavily. Appearing in court is not a fun thing to do, be sure you have your proof at all times.
It is your responsibility to be familiar with and in abidance of the laws of your state. Driving, along with having a drivers license, is considered a privilege, not a right. - 21396
