What does the law say about driving without auto insurance in California?

I am not a lawyer by profession and can’t offer real legal advice. However, it is a fact that, if you fail to show any proof of insurance coverage while driving in California you would be charged with violation of California Vehicle Code Section 16029. As a result you will have to shell out around $500 or more plus penalties like impoundment of the vehicle and possible suspension of your driving license.

If your vehicle is impounded, you would also be required to pay tow charges as well as all storage charges. In case you are caught driving without a car insurance the fine would be almost twofold of what you would have spent on one year auto insurance coverage. If you are involved in an accident and are without auto insurance you will have to fulfill the financial responsibility under laws (SR22, SR22s, SR16) like you are required to pay for all damages accrued due to accident.

Yes you can contact an automobile insurance lawyer in your area for any advice.

You need to show proof of insurance while driving in CA else you can be arrested, given a citation, your license can be suspended, you can be fined, anything can happen!

The moment you are driving without auto insurance in California, it can be concluded that you are in direct violation of the California Vehicle Code, specifically Section 16029. Failing to comply withe provisions of the law will cost you a maximum of $500 in charges including penalties, your vehicle will be taken into custody and your driver's license will be temporarily without effect. Among the consequences of having your vehicle being taken away by authorities will entail fees on safekeeping, as well as towing expenses.In addition, if you encounter any vehicular accidents without auto insurance, the consequence is far more severe, as provided for in the provisions stated in Financial Responsibility Laws, which in certain terms will make you personally liable for any harm or destruction you have inflicted against other parties involved.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
