Most people are aware that liability insurance is compulsory in North Carolina. Each owner of an automobile is required by law to have liability insurance which pays a minimum of $30,000.00 to anyone injured as a result of a negligent driving.
The insurance is tied to the car, not the driver.
The driver, however, could lose his operator's license permanently if he is driving a car that is not insured.
He could lose his license permanently and never ever be able to get them back.
If a judgment is obtained against a driver of an uninsured motor vehicle, the driver could lose his license forever or until the first $30,000.00 of that judgment is paid. This provision of the law is designed to compel every person to have liability insurance in an amount of at least $30,000.00 per person.
It is therefore important to be sure that the motor vehicle you drive, even if it is owned by a third party, has adequate liability coverage.
