Lol, i've inadvertently created a rather more interesting thread than I had intended

Alec Trevelyan : a year dude.

I love reading all the different places with high, low or no car insurance. I know the uk is quite high, didn't know Canada was so bad for it, that sucks man.

Question. Can you drive in the US without car insurance?

But where do all the calculators go?

Ain't nothin' over till it's over.

Nope, you have to have insurance in the US. My rates aren't that bad, considering I'm 20 and a male, usually one of the most highly-charged groups in the US.

Not much worse than mine, though in all honesty it covers both my wife and myself. About $1600 per year. Yours converts to just over $1700. In Jersey though? Fuggedaboutit. Over $2K for a single driver.

Ours should actually be dropping...my wife's under 25 charge drops in July, my two speeding tickets will drop in December, as will her accident, and my "inexperienced driver" (pfft, whatever) drops off in June.

It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive...

Aren't there still a few states that don't require it though? My road atlas at work says so, but then again it's 8 years old...

Car insurance sucks here. I wouldn't not have a car though. I love driving, for a start,

DarthMaya - Dude, you're only 15, isn't that a wee bit too young to drive on the road? I know when I was 15 I was no where near ready enough to be on the road.

Biotech - Time for an upgrade then, no?

I think there still are a couple, can't remember any off the top of my head though. Here in Virginia where I live it's most definately mandatory.

Where I live, you can get a driving permit at 15 and a half and your license 9 months later. That's what I did.

Only if you want to take a chance on losing your drivers' license!

And as far as I know, you are required by law to have at least liability insurance on any vehicle on the road.
