How do I check if a car has insurance without paying for the information?
I was in an accident with someone and they were at fault. They keep telling me they'll send me their car insurance information, but they haven't yet. How do I check if their car has insurance for free?

car insurance
without paying anything out of pocket.If you filed a police report, you may be able to get the other driver’s information that way. If you didn’t, consider contacting the police and filing a report.
