Yes... But at a price. 

Here in Michigan you can only legally drive on the road without insurance if you post $100,000 bond... .


It's a stiff ticket if you get caught driving without - and worse if you get in an accident without insurance - including losing your license for a year...

Fortunately you can own a vehicle without insurance and registration. (Some states you can't) We already pay for 4 vehicles (for 2 of us).

12 would kill us.... (If you count the 4 parts cars).

Here, if you don’t have some sort of third party insurance, you’re financially liable for whatever damages you cause while driving. Some people opt not to buy it. We call these people ‘morons’.

Or "indigent".

If you have nothing - that's all they can take.

Third party is dead cheap. If you can afford to keep a car on the road, you can afford the insurance.

LOL -this is true -EXCEPT -when insurance is manditory...


...

My ex-brother in law lived in the Seattle area. Years ago - auto insurance was not manditory. But - as a resonably responsible guy - as an independent home repair contractor - he carried liability insurance on his work truck (lorry). It cost just over $100 a year.

Then - the insurance lobby got manditory auto insurance laws passed - PROMISING lower costs for everyone.

Same truck was now over $2000 a year.

When I said ‘dead cheap’ I was referring to here. For both vehicles, we pay a little over $100/month for $15000 property damage on each car (that’s about $65 and $9000 US, respectively).

I carry Uninsured/Underinsured insurance because some people are irresponsible.
