If I am driving in a state that requires car insurance, but the state that I am from does not, can I be fined?

I'm driving one state over the purchase a vehicle and that state requires that anyone driving needs to have car insurance. But the state I am from does not require insurance to drive. Do I need the insurance first or am I void because I'm not a resident of that state?

Let me revise. My state requires insurance. But you have 30 days after purchase to get it. And obviously this would be the first day I have it since I'm just needing to drive it back.

I am pretty sure you cannot be fined. In states where insurance is required, policies included "uninsured motorist coverage". It is mandatory. If you were involved in an accident in such a state, and you did not have coverage, the injured party would pursue a claim against their uninsured motorist coverage. The insurance company could later come after you for reimbursement after they do an assest check.

You can get in trouble, When in Rome....

If you are in that state, I would assume those laws apply to you.

As a driver you are required to have whatever requirements your state has in place. Pretty much EVERY state requires insurance.

That is first for me i never heard of a state that does not require some kind of insurance.

Yes, you do. If you wreck another car or property in that state, they expect you to be able to pay for the damage. If you get caught, they will fine you for not having insurance.

Yes you need a insurance. If polgamy is okay in Arabia, it doesn nto mean that a muslim can marry ten wives in Europe because hsi country allows it. You have to obey the law where ever you go

If you have no insurance at all, you will have a problem. Also, the dealership will look for proof of insurance for your old vehicle when you purchase the new vehicle - otherwise the state will not allow you to purchase the vehicle. Typically, insurance companies will automatically extend coverage to new vehicles for a period of time prior to you calling them to add the new vehicle to your policy. So if you have insurance on another vehicle, your new one should be covered for a short time.

Hello Keket. For your transportation through the other state, yes, you will need insurance. I just want to add something here though. Even though your home state is not mandatory, if you are involved in an accident and are carrying no insurance, you can and will be held personally liable. Any and all assets can be attached, your wages can be garnished and any future earnings and winnings ( such as a lottery) can be taken. I know it costs money, but get the insurance and keep it active. Just advice from my side. Good luck and I hope this helps you

Call your insurance company. It sounds like you'll be covered when you pick up the car, but make sure. Don't drive if you're not. A fine is nothing - wrecking and being sued for $100,000+ is.
