OAI suggests that Arizona drivers adhere to coverage requirements and stay off the road if they don’t have a policy, as motorists in the Grand Canyon State pay steep fines for being convicted of driving uninsured.

A three-month suspension of license plates and registration along with at least a $500 fine comes with the first offense of driving uninsured. Another offense within three years doubles the suspension period, and the size of the fine increases to at least $750. A third offense raises the minimum fine to $1,000 with a year-long suspension of license plates and registration.

I think that is cheap, no wonder people risk it.

Hear hear. Confiscate the car and destroy it. Keep uninsured off the road.
Sell scrap metal and invest in public transit. Problem solved. :-)
