One Out Of Every Six Automobile Drivers Will Be Uninsured By 2010
A recent study noted that the trend of driving without insurance coverage is growing. The increase in the number of uninsured motorists is an unfortunate consequence of the economic downturn according to Elizabeth A. Sprinkle, Senior Vice President of The Insurance Research Council. If you are operating a vehicle without an auto insurance policy in Pennsylvania, penalties are expected to get harsher. Currently the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation suspends a vehicle’s registration for failure to maintain coverage and if a motorist is caught driving without proof of a policy, the individual can have his or her license suspended. But worse yet if a motorist causes injuries to self or others during an accident, he or she would have to bear the expenses for the property damage and bodily injuries, potentially forcing the motorist to file for bankruptcy. Right now insurance rates seem to be lower than ever and it is highly recommended that all motorists in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania have automobile insurance. I emphasize that one should purchase a Full Tort automobile insurance policy with uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage to fully protect your family and financial interests.
