Car Insurance Question  Is it illegal in the state of California to drive a car without having it insured?

California requires when you register or renew your registration that you show proof of insurance. California goes on to require that drivers and vehicle owners both carry certain liability insurance. The minimum monetary limits are $15,000 for injury or death of 1 person per accident, $30,000 for injury or death of 2 or more persons per accident and $5,000 for property damage per accident.

CA requires evidence of financial responsibilty to be carried at all times in the vehicle. California law states that those operating a vehicle in CA who are unlicensed or have an invalid driver's license are still subject to the same financial laws as valid California licensed drivers.
