Is liabilty insurance compulsary? . . .
 

. . in the US??
sensible, no doubt!
but will they let me drive out of the port (in a heavy 4x4) without it? and if will the police ask for it if I'm stopped?

thanks for any advice.

It varies greatly by state. In Wisconsin, where I am from, it is officially required, but I have never been asked to prove I am insured. In Texas, where I am living now, proof of insurance is the first thing a policeman will ask for if he stops you. Those are the only 2 states I have first hand knowledge of.

In most US states liabilty insurance is required for vehicles that are registered in that state.

thanks guys, anyone know what that means for a foreign registered vehicle . . .

cheers

I have searched around the net and the only thing I could find is a insurance company that wants to sell insurance.

I don't know what is required if anything.
