Many people might think that car insurance is a waste of money because they are safe drivers, but even if they are always safe, other people might not be as cautious. Driving without car insurance can really affect you and the other party if an accident were to occur. Not only is it illegal to drive uninsured, but your license will be suspended and cost you more than what having insurance could have saved you. If you wanted to fix any damages on your vehicle, then you would have to pay out of your own pocket which can be in the thousands of dollars. It can harm the other party by making them have to file a claim even if they aren’t at fault, which will make their rates go up. The best way to avoid all of this is to buy auto insurance and save yourself and others from having to pay more than what should be paid.
