Okay, so I was chatting with a friend yesterday who admitted they drove around uninsured for like two months last year (I know, right?). Got me thinking...I mean, I get insurance is pricey sometimes, but the fines and penalties here in Wisconsin aren't exactly pocket change either. Um, just curiousβhave you ever risked it and driven without insurance, even briefly? Quick poll:
- Yep, guilty as charged.
- Nope, never worth the risk.
- Thought about it, but chickened out.
Honestly, I've thought about it once or twice when money was tight, but never actually went through with it. Here's what I usually do instead: First, I shop around onlineβthere's usually some cheaper option out there if you dig enough. Second, I tweak my coverage temporarily (like raising deductibles) to lower the monthly cost. It's not ideal, but it's way better than risking those hefty fines or worse...an accident without coverage.
