Driving without insurance in California can result in fines up to $500 and/or the driver's license being suspended. The value of your car and the at-fault's car generally does not factor in. You and your daughter might also be required to comply with the financial responsibility law set forth by California.

The penalties for being uninsured might fall on you, your daughter or both. It is likely that you as a parent signed for your daughter, a minor, to get her license and that document has you accepting financial responsibility for her as a minor. This responsibility requires both the driver and vehicle owner to carry insurance.
