Driving in an uninsured car has serious and expensive consequences.
You will receive a traffic violation. Your license can be suspended.
The police can tow and impound the vehicle. The vehicle can't be released until proof of insurance is procured. The impound fees add up quickly and the tow company can send your car to auction if the fees are not paid within the statutory time period for your state.

Can you get a ticket for driving with no insurance if you are pulled over driving a borrowed car that is not insured even though your personal car is insured MN?
Absolutely. You are responsible for making sure the vehicle that you are driving is insured. It does not make any difference that you have other car insurance or even that the owner of the vehicle has other insurance. If there is not insurance on the vehicle you are driving then you are guilty.

Can an insured driver drive an uninsured car I heard that there are types of insurance that covers it but i want to make sure.?
In Australia, it depends on what you mean by "uninsured" and why you need to drive it.A car has to have Compulsory Third Party insurance for it to be registered and driven on a regular basis.If the rego has run out and you need to drive the car somewhere to get work done to it for it to pass rego your allowed to drive it ONLY if you going from home to garage to the rego station.You must have your rego papers and any other documents that you need in the car with you otherwise if you get pulled over you will be fined for driving an unregistered uninsured vehicle.If it's going to take more than one day or you have to go to more than one place for repairs you have to get a special type of insurance from the insurance company and get a form signed at the registration station.I hope that helps because the question isn't all that clear as to what insurance the car doesn't have.
Do you need insurance to drive with only your permit?
YES! You are driving. You have to have insurance. absolutely. it does not matter what stage of driving you are at, you must have insurance. you can get pulled over and be ticketed on your permit. you can also get into an accident while driving on a permit. all of the above are logically reasons that you must have insurance to drive on a permit. in fact, i am surprised that you were not asked to show proof of insurance to obtain a permit. so in short, yes you do need insurance to drive on a permit.

Should you let your girlfriend drive with a broken taillight at night in an uninsured car?
Me and my girlfriend usually switch cars on my way home from work if shes going to get out after dark in which case she could potentially be pulled over with a broken tailight on an uninsured vehicle. She got mad at me for not getting the car becuase it was already dark by the time i was by her work so i left it there becuase i didn't want to run into the same situation. Was i wrong in trying to do everything possible to avoid an $800 ticket for driving without insurance?
Can you go to jail if you get pulled over without having insurance?
Penalties will vary from state to state and sometimes from county to county. Lately with the problems of uninsured and unlicensed drivers most jurisdictions do have people arrested for driving without a license. In addition the vehicle is usually impounded and you will have to prove insurance, have a licensed driver to drive it away from the impound yard, and pay a hefty storage fee for the towing and time it was stored in the impound yard, in addition to any fines.
If you got pulled over and had no car insurance and got a ticket and have since purchased car insurance - take the proof to court - will you get put n jail?
You'll probably be banned from driving for a year and given a fine.
