“Interestingly when you insure your car, you can also get coverage for damaged caused by an uninsured motorist”
One correction....uninsured motorist protection is mandatory in a number of States. There is no “can get” about it...
You right! Interesting isn’t it that we have state laws that mandate you have at least liability insurance yet we must carry insurance in case someone chooses not to follow the law? Last year my car was rearended. Driver wanted to give me the name of a friend who would fix the damage and just call it good. I called police. They had no insurance, no proof of ownership, no valid driver’s license, no current inspection sticker. They were given multiple citations and allowed to drive away to cause damage to someone else. Seems to me like their car should have been towed away and they should be taken to jail. Only in my dreams!
