Mississippi Senate: No car insurance, no car tag

Same here in NC. It doesn't stop the ILLEGALS from driving! They cancel their insurance after they have tags and drive until the DMV can track them down.

This is the reason the insurers of Mississippi have fought this bill and why it hasn't passed before. I believe that if one doesn't have insurance and is involved in an accident and cannot prove that the insurance was not present and in policy due to oversight, the offender should be executed on the spot by the MHP officer. A few of these incidents would make those that have no insurance think twice before getting behind the wheel. (Is this not leftist Nazi thinking?)

Try getting hit by an uninsured motorist, then watch YOUR insurance rates hit the sky.

[Old Professer]

I don't know anybody who doesn't carry uninsured motorist's coverage; so who are the uninsured?

MS insurance companies do not raise your rates
they cancel your policy. :>)

[Old Professer]

Not so.

Same law in North Carolina.
In fact, they have been known to come out and take the license plates off of your car if you allow your insurance to lapse.
It's a good thing.

WRONG.

Well I have a stake in this as I own houses in both Mississippi and Louisana.

Louisana has laws requiring insurance and Missipppi doesn't and the fact is it doesn't matter. If they want to drive w/o insurance they will. Cancelling the policy is common place.

Personally I'll take the freedom from government I feel in Mississippi anyday. I don't need more laws on the books that only affect law abiding citizens anyway.

I like what they do in Philadelphia, the Live Stop program. If you are pulled over and can't produce registration or proof of insurance, your car is towed immediately.

The day before this went into effect, there were lines around the block of people registering cars and buying insurance policies.

Good to know this ahead of time. :)

Their needs to be a national law requiring liability to be part on all auto policies. In some cases they by collision to satisfy the bank and don't purchase liability.I was hit by a Ohio driver and had no recourse.In Ga. now if your insurance lapses your licencense is pulled.Insurance Companies notify the state electronically as soon as a policy lapses.

I agree with you. Years ago, I got hit by an illegal alien driving without a driver's license of course, and my insurance rates went sky high.

My Home Owner insurance is due. The Premium is $1200.00
Would you please pay it for me?

[eyespysomething]

And your insurance is tied in with your car tag now where the police can call in your tag number and know right away if you have insurance or not.

I still carry my card though.

And more the reason to build a wall and build it high. I agree with Bush on most things, EXCEPT his stance on illegal aliens.

Mississippi is probably the last state in the nation to do something like this.
