How do I get around having car insurance?

Car insurance is really expensive, and I don't want to get it if I don't have to. Is there any way that I can get around having it?

Insurance can be expensive, but it is almost always legally required to have some kind of coverage in order to operate a vehicle.
Here’s why: If you do choose to drive uninsured and are deemed
at-fault in an accident
, you won’t have any help paying for the medical bills and property damages of the other party.
However, there is a
minimum insurance requirement
in each state If you’re hoping to pay less each month, this is the kind of coverage you should be looking for.
A legal option: If you would still rather avoid paying for coverage,
New Hampshire
does allow individuals to drive without insurance. However, you would still need to pay out of pocket if deemed at-fault in an accident.
