When considering your insurance policy, you have to take into account the state laws. Specifically, what is the minimum coverage, and what types of coverage are required.
To answer these questions, call your insurance agent. They will have all the best information about state and regional laws that involve you and your vehicle. It's their job to know all this and help you with it. Before you call, make sure you have all your questions ready so you don't forget.
Each state will have specifics that must be followed when it involves your insurance coverage. Full coverage will cover injury to people, cars and property. Some states may only require coverage involving people. This is liability insurance. If you damage a car, then you must pay out of pocket for damages to your car, but insurance will probably pay for the other car.
If you are going to travel out of state, check out what auto insurance coverage you will need. Call the rep of your insurance company and verify the coverage you need. Be sure if you are traveling through multiple states, find the strictest one and change your coverage to that one for the time being.
Some states have laws covering vehicles that you don't need insurance for. In Washington and Oregon, motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds do not need insurance to drive them.
Most states require that you keep your proof of auto insurance in your car at all times. If you are pulled over by a police officer, you must provide proof of insurance. There are heavy fines if you don't have it. If you forgot it or it expired and you didn't get the updated version in the mail. Simply contest the ticket and provide proof to the judge and they should wave the fine.
As a driver, it is your responsibility to know the laws you are driving under. Remember that a drivers license, hence driving itself, is considered a privilege rather than a right.
