Explain why saving money with a state minimum auto liability insurance policy generally isn‘t the best idea.

Limited Coverage: State minimum auto liability insurance policies only cover the bare minimum required by law. This typically includes bodily injury liability and property damage liability. However, it does not cover other types of damage such as collision, comprehensive, and uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. This means if you're involved in an accident, you may have to pay out of pocket for repairs to your own vehicle or for medical expenses if you're injured.

Financial Risk: If you cause an accident and the damages exceed your policy's limits, you're responsible for paying the difference. This could potentially lead to financial hardship or even bankruptcy if the damages are substantial.

Legal Consequences: In some cases, if your insurance doesn't cover all the damages and you can't afford to pay out of pocket, you could face legal consequences. The other party involved in the accident could sue you for the remaining amount.

Higher Premiums in the Future: If you file a claim that exceeds your policy's limits, your insurance company may consider you a high-risk driver and increase your premiums in the future. In the long run, this could end up costing you more than if you had just opted for a policy with higher coverage from the beginning.
