It's the law and don't test it either because getting caught driving without insurance will lead to a hefty fine. Then if it happens multiple times, you can in fact end up losing your license.

What they don't know however, is that prices do vary and that shopping around for auto insurance estimates is a heckuva lot easier now, thanks to comparison sites where you can check out multiple options in just one visit.

Something as simple as four-wheel-drive on a sport-utility vehicle for instance can raise the cost of your insurance premium considerably. So take the time to do a little research to find out the type of vehicles that insurance carriers consider higher risk before you buy.
