It is important to remember that even though you are insured, if you drive an uninsured car you will not be covered. Driving an uninsured car, in most states, is a violation and can result in a fine, suspension of your driver's license, or even jail time. Moreover, if you cause an accident while driving an uninsured car you will be personally responsible for any damages caused.
In some states, it is possible to get temporary insurance coverage for a short period of time, such as a day or a week. This can be helpful if you need to drive an uninsured car for a short period of time. However, it is important to make sure that you have this temporary insurance coverage in place before you get behind the wheel.
