Out here an uninsured car may get confiscated and a repeated offender will lose their driving privileges (along with monetary fines and fees).
Supposedly that can happen here in my home state as well, though in this case and from what I understand in the vast majority of cases like mine the police just issue a ticket for no insurance and that's that. They generally won't impound the car on unless the driver has multiple citations for driving without insurance, and since in this case we are dealing with a driver who likely switches names every time he gets into any legal trouble there's no record of it so they give him a ticket and a court summons, both of which get discarded.
From what I understand on those occasions where the car does get impounded, the owner of the vehicle gets one months worth of liability insurance on it over the internet so he can have proof of insurance to release the vehicle, they release the vehicle and he never makes another insurance payment again.
Sad, but true.
