A few months ago, a young married woman accidentally ran a red light and crashed into my car. Shockingly, she had no driver's license and two crying children with her. In a panic, she called her husband, who showed up with insurance details hastily scribbled on a scrap of paper.
Being a decent person, I took down the information and informed my insurance company. A few hours later, I received a call: the insurance details were false! I was shocked. This careless driver was uninsured.
It's frustrating for those of us who diligently pay our insurance premiums, adhering to the law. We fork out hundreds of dollars monthly for coverage that we don’t really see or feel until we need it. But soon, every motorist will be required to have car insurance.
California legislators are rolling out a three-phase plan to tackle uninsured motorists. This plan protects responsible drivers who don’t make bogus claims and comply with the law. The goal is to ensure uninsured drivers face strict consequences.
Starting January 1st, insurance companies must send evidence of financial responsibility to the DMV electronically. If your insurance lapses, the DMV will be notified immediately. This means if you receive a registration renewal, you must provide proof of insurance, or your registration won’t be renewed.
Think about this: if you’re pulled over after July 1, claiming you left your insurance card at home won’t work. Authorities can now access your insurance status instantly, just like the DMV.
The decisive move will occur on October 6th when the California DMV will suspend the registrations of uninsured drivers. This is non-negotiable?"insurance is mandatory.
I understand there are those who choose not to get insurance, but others simply can’t afford steep premiums. Thankfully, California offers a solution. As of April 1, the California Low Cost Auto Insurance Program is available to low-income drivers in various counties, expanding beyond San Francisco and Los Angeles.
This affordable insurance costs just over $300 per year and is available through licensed agents. It allows qualifying low-income drivers to protect themselves and comply with the law. More details can be found on the state department of insurance website.
Currently, it's estimated that one in four drivers in Los Angeles County is uninsured. But with these new laws, having insurance is not just a recommendation?"it’s an absolute necessity.
