More drivers are letting their car insurance lapse because of the sour economy, putting themselves and others at risk.
Adding to the problem is the fact that auto-insurance rates are rising again after a couple of years of flat or declining premiums.
Even in good times, many Americans drive without insurance. A study found that nearly 15% of drivers nationally were uninsured in 2004, up from about 13% in 1999.
In my opinion we need tougher laws to punish those irresponsible people who drive without insurance: perhaps confiscation of the cars.
