    Insurance doesn’t actually help you silly. It’s just the fee you must pay to be allowed to register and drive your car. They just happen to call it insurance for some reason.

      Insurance does a fantastic job of making sure that the CEOs of the insurance companies make at least millions of dollars. Maybe that’s why they call it insurance?

      The bulk of that is not part of the minimum legal requirement though. My bill is less than $20, but that only goes towards paying for any damage my car causes others, I won’t get any payout. If you get insurance that pays to repair or replace your car, that’s separate and not legally required.

      Nah, it does work generally. I’ve had to use it when I got in a car accident. I still think it shouldn’t be required tho
