Does a car not registered have to insurance in Virginia?

In Virginia, it is mandatory for all vehicles, regardless of whether they are registered or not, to have insurance. This requirement applies to all types of vehicles, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, and trailers. The only exceptions to this rule are for certain types of vehicles, such as off-road vehicles and antique vehicles.

The minimum insurance requirements in Virginia are as follows:

* $25,000 in bodily injury liability coverage per person

* $50,000 in bodily injury liability coverage per accident

* $20,000 in property damage liability coverage

If a vehicle is not insured, the owner may be subject to penalties, including fines, suspension of their driver's license, and even jail time. Additionally, the owner may be held liable for any damages or injuries that occur as a result of an accident.

It is important to note that even if a vehicle is not being used, it must still be insured. This is because an uninsured vehicle can still cause damage or injuries in the event of an accident.
