It's not a legal option. It is totally ILLEGAL to drive without insurance.

Ah ok...was getting worried

The procedure here would be (as far as I remember):
You need a valid passport/ID card
You need a valid driver's license
You need TÜV approval documents for the car
You need the car papers etc. of course
You need liability insurance/papers (I sometimes read here"under-insured", what does that mean and how is that possible)
Minimum coverage defined per law:
7.5 Million € --> personal injuries
1 Million € --> car/property damage damage

If you took all those bureaucratic hurdles...You might get your car registered AND a license plate.


Without a (visible) license plate and valid TÜV, the Polizei will pull ya off the streets

Being German I know were you are coming from. Germany has tough and for the most part logical rules with the majority of people following them. This is one of the reasons that allows for unlimited speeds on parts of the autobahn. In America you have the federal government and 50 states plus territories and countless counties and cities that all have their own laws and different levels of enforcement. Add to that millions of illigal immigrants and it sometimes feels like no is following the law. It not as bad as it sounds but in some ways it not a very "United States". Just don't piss us off as a country because that's when we all get together and come for you.

That particular coverage is for when the you are not at fault in an accident, but the other guys insurance coverage cannot pay ( reached it's limit) or does not have insurance - driving illegally without insurance. Your insurance pays you, then goes after the responsible party.
