I mean Virginia is still making money whether or not uninsured drivers get in accidents, is the point I'm trying to make.

Driving without insurance is forbidden in any state. Virginia is just making money off it. Sounds pretty sane to me.

That's just it - it's NOT forbidden depending on how you apply for your vehicle registration. There's a box you can check during the title/registration process that says something along the lines of, "I do not have insurance and am willing to pay the uninsured motorist's fee." If you check that box and fork over $500 along with the fees for registration, you're legally allowed to drive without insurance. You're on your own if you get in an accident, but you're not going to be criminally charged for driving without coverage.

The problem I'm running into is that I checked the box that said "yep, I've got insurance", and now they're telling me "lol no, pay us money"
