        Kind of a technical one, because if you get pulled over without insurance in my area, they will tow your car and inpound it.

        Yes, in my country auto-insurance is legally required in order to pay roadtax for the car, which is mandatory to operate the vehicle on public road. It’s renewed yearly, and cost a lot more than roadtax. It help pay for the damage you caused, while the more expensive plan cover your own vehicle.

        UK is probably the same case because we follow a lot of the colonialist law book.
