Almost every state requires its licensed drivers to have a minimum amount of insurance coverage. The required insurance generally includes bodily injury liability coverage and property damage liability coverage in certain minimum amounts.
You are required to show proof of the minimum insurance coverage to a police officer when you are stopped for a moving traffic violation or involved in a traffic accident—and you may receive a citation if you are not able to show proof of insurance. And in some states you are required to show proof of insurance to register your car. In those states, the failure to register your car may result in an additional citation.
In Arizona, drivers are mandated by law to carry a minimum amount of auto insurance coverage. This includes bodily injury liability coverage with at least $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident, and property damage liability coverage of at least $15,000. Arizona law requires drivers to provide proof of insurance during traffic stops or after being involved in a traffic accident. Failure to present this proof can lead to a citation. Additionally, proof of insurance is necessary to register a vehicle in Arizona. Not having the vehicle registered due to lack of insurance can also result in a citation. It's important for drivers in Arizona to maintain their insurance coverage not only to comply with the law but also to ensure financial protection in the event of an accident.
