<VV> OT VA Uninsured motorist

[aeroned at aol.com]

Sure, I need to pay more for insurance to cover my losses when someone else is at fault. Plus my rates will increase after that too.

Why let them drive in the first place?

Maybe the Mayans were right...

Yes. It is currently $500 a year.

I think liability insurance should be required, but so far the state has 
llowed people to drive without it if they pay a large fee. Of course in 
ther states that require insurance, people who can't pay just let it 
apse, steal plates, etc. They still drive. License? We don't need no 
icense!
Insurance companies that do business in VA do have to offer uninsured 
otorist coverage to people buying auto insurance. This allows an 
nsured to collect for their own car even if they do not have full 
overage when damage is caused by an uninsured motorist and the 
ninsured doesn't pay.

 Here in VA only liability insurance is  required, even if the vehicle was
 worth millions. Or you could purchase  uninsured motorist plates, but
 only people with horrible driving records  would find uninsured plates
 cheaper than actually buying  insurance....
