Drivers in every state are required to have AZ car insurance. Some states require more insurance than others, but all require that you either have insurance or provide a bond with the state showing that you are financially responsible in case of an accident.

If a police officer pulls you over in some states and you do not have insurance, your vehicle registration can be canceled and the license plates be removed from your vehicle. Other states allow for fines and require you to prove that you have insurance to the court. Insurance companies often charge more for filing this paperwork.

However fines and confiscated license plates are minor when compared to the cost incurred if you are involve in an accident without insurance.

Some states have laws that make the driver without insurance automatically at fault in any accident he is involved in. This puts all the financial responsibility on you. Even without that law, you can be the cause of an accident and suddenly have bills that you cannot afford to pay.

In addition to the loss of your own vehicle, you may be responsible for the damage you cause to the other vehicles involved in the accident. With new vehicles averaging over twenty thousand dollars today, the expenses can add quickly.

You will also have to pay hospital bills for anyone injured in the accident. A minimum emergency room visit is three thousand dollars and intensive care can cost three thousand dollars every day. Add the costs of surgery and you could easily be responsible for thirty thousand dollars per person involved in the accident. These costs can break you financially.

Everyone likes to think that they are a safe driver and will not get into an accident. The problem is that even the most defensive drivers are sometimes involved in an accident. It only takes a second of your eyes being off the road and you can have a major financial responsibility.

Maybe you have heard the old expression penny wise but pound foolish. This expression is exactly the description of a person who is driving without insurance. Most drivers can purchase insurance for under one hundred dollars per month. Driving without insurance can cost you thousands of dollars in a few seconds.
