Some California Drivers Save Money On Car Insurance, By Not Buying It
California Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner is aware that millions of California drivers are saving big money on car insurance, because they aren’t buying any. Poizner is planning a crackdown on uninsured drivers though, and those without car insurance may have their cars immobilized or license plates revoked.
Poizner is considering trying to get an initiative on the 2008 ballot that would give law enforcement a broader sweep of power over uninsured drivers.
The issue is not a new one and has divided lawmakers and voters in California for quite some time. However, Poizner has been expanding a state low cost car insurance program that allows drivers to get basic coverage for as little as $350 per year and that may make all the difference to some.
Although advocates of the low cost insurance plans say that now anyone who can afford a car and gas can also afford basic coverage, others still argue that the costs are still too high for those living at or below poverty level.
Under the current law, uninsured drivers can receive a ticket if they are not in the state database of insured drivers and can not provide proof of insurance. If an uninsured driver is in an accident, they can lose their driver’s license for a year. If the car registration has been suspended because there is no insurance coverage, the driver can face fines of more than $1,000. Police say that under the current law, the cars are rarely seized unless there is not an insured driver available to drive it or the registration has been suspended.
Poizner has not released the details of the initiative he hopes to see on the 2008 ballot, but it would involve cracking down on the uninsured and getting them off the road by whatever means necessary.
