You Don’t Have California Auto Insurance?
You Don’t Have California Auto Insurance?
Today, there are approximately 1.5 million Americans roaming the streets without Auto Insurance. What are 1.5 million of you thinking?! You or someone you know could be roaming the streets uninsured. The risks you are taking are ruthless, both legally and financially.
Many people think insurance is a gamble. But for most of us, it is a sense of security. Why spend hundreds of dollars every month paying for insurance? Because bad things can happen to anyone;
“C'est la vie”—that’s life.
"Roads? Where we're going we don't need...roads."
Since there are so many people who do not think they need to pay for insurance, below are the top 5 reasons why not having Auto Insurance is a bad idea:
1) Fines. Driving without insurance is a violation of California Vehicle Code Section 16029 according to the CA Department of Motor Vehicles. It is a serious offense and will lead to fines up to 500 dollars and up. The more you are caught, the higher the fines will be—along with the other consequences.
2) You will lose your driving privileges. The second time you are caught you may lose your driver’s license for up to 6 months to a year, depending on the case.
3) You will lose your vehicle. Along with losing your license, you will lose your vehicle. Also, if you get into an accident the fines may be so high you will probably lose your vehicle anyway. An accident (involving impoundment and injuries) can cost you thousands out of your own pocket.
4) You are putting yourself in danger. Anyone can say that they are careful drivers and do not need insurance, but that does not protect them from an unexpected accident. Anything can happen, and it may happen at the worst time possible.
5) You are putting others in danger. If you were the cause of an accident that led to serious injuries you are obligated to pay for the accident and you will be sued if you do not have the money to pay for it (again it will be out of your own pocket and will cost thousands). If sued you will have to pay even more. This accident will ruin your financial status, and will cause havoc for the ones needing the medical attention.
With Auto Insurance, you pay small amounts every month and if anything does happen, you will be better off financially paying those small amounts rather than the big amount including losing your car and your license.
