State helps drivers get cheap auto insurance

A California program is helping drivers find cheap auto insurance while cutting down on the risk posed by people who cut out insurance because of financial difficulties.

This week, California's KPBR radio website reported that state insurance commissioner Steve Poizner recently visited San Diego to highlight the insurance program and to warn motorists against cutting insurance policies.

"In today's economy, many San Diego drivers are looking for ways to cut their expenses and some are undoubtedly considering eliminating auto insurance. But driving without insurance is illegal and puts all travelers at risk," the report quoted Poizner as saying.

According to the website for California's Low Cost Automobile Insurance Program, people with good driving records who demonstrate financial need are able to insure cars that are worth less than $20,000. The program was started in 2000 for residents of San Francisco and Los Angeles counties, but has expanded state wide since then in response to the problem of drivers dropping their insurance policies to save money.

As the recession continues, a growing number of states have reported similar problems with people trying to save money by avoiding their auto insurance responsibilities. Regardless of what state they live in, people willing to do the research can often find cheap auto insurance.
