Uninsured drivers in Missouri
Fourteen percent of Missouri drivers were uninsured in 2009, according to a report from the Insurance Research Council. That's right around the national average of 13.8 percent.
Uninsured motorist bodily injury coverage is required to help protect you after an accident involving an uninsured driver.
No proof of insurance
Keep your proof of insurance in your vehicle at all times. Failure to provide your auto insurance ID card to a police officer may result in a ticket.
Lacking coverage altogether will result in a suspended drivers license or license plate and a fine. Penalties increase for each subsequent conviction.
