This is embarrassing, but the truth is I wasn’t able to pay my auto insurance premiums for a several months. It was canceled. My problem now is I have to drive uninsured for a little while here in Texas until I sort this out. If I’m careful enough not to hit someone else’s car, I’ll be fine, right? It would only be temporary. Pretty soon, I’ll be shopping for a free auto insurance quote on the Internet.

I’ve got bad news for you, man. Before, the city would only tow your car if you got into an accident and you were found to be uninsured. But starting this year, the rules have changed. James, if you were found to have no auto insurance coverage, your car would be towed right away. I heard on the news that in Dallas, the authorities have discovered more than 70,000 people driving without auto insurance coverage. Sure, auto insurance is a financial burden, but at the end of the day, it’s your responsibility. So, if you were caught parking where you’re not supposed to, and if traffic authorities discover that you didn’t have proper auto insurance, your car would be towed just like that.

So basically man, you’ve got two problems: first, you must get your vehicle insured if you intend to drive. In Texas, you must have at least 75,000 dollars worth of auto insurance coverage (25/50/25). You will then be required to fill out an SR 22. Don’t do this and your driver’s license will be suspended. Second, you can expect your free auto insurance quote to skyrocket the next time that you check because you allowed your auto insurance to be canceled.
