That should absolutely be allowed.

in fla you are required to have insurance on a car, but unless they have closed the loophole you are not required to ins a bike.

You can insure anything here, licensed or not. I had insurance on my rc51 for two years while I rode with no motorcycle endorsement.

But, that said, Why the fuck do you care what someone else does? How is it any of your business?. She's an adult, if she wants to drive without ins, its totally up to her. It really isnt affecting you in any way.

sure it does. there's a policy we have called under-insured and un-insured motorist insurance, so that if you get hit by somebody w/o or not enough ins. "your" ins. co still pays the claim. w/ ~40% of people driving w/o insurance it's stupid not to have it, but if only 5-10% or ?? didn't, we prolly wouldn't need it. therfore lower rates.

some cities here will tow your car if you don't have a license or ins. on a traffic stop. and i applaud them. if your car/bike doesn't have ins. it shouldn't be on the road.

ins. protects me from them.

What do you care what I do? I'm an adult if I want to find out if she is one of the unisured motorists driving up my insurance premiums, it's totally up to me. It really isn't affecting you in any way.

i find it funny how you think its other uninsured motorists bringing up your rates, when its actual corporate greed.

Keep uninsured motorists on your policy, and you dont have to worry what they do. Its ridiculous to try and intentionally fuck up someones life more than it already is.

You remind me of the frenchman up here fighting to get in the foremans office.

"I wanna tell'

"No, you told last time, I wanna tell this time"

"Its my turn to tell"

sickening.

If u dont have unisured motorist added to your insurance then your scewed if someone hits u without insurance. If they have the money but just dont want to pay for insurance then u can win in court.

Apoc, unisured motorist do jack insurance rates and so do people that keep wrecking. You're an idiot if u dont believe that.

Clearly you've never been hit by someone that doesn't have insurance. It sucks hard.
