If your lender requires you to have insurance during the loan period, then yes. Also. If you are driving , then yes. If the vehicle is not on the road being driven, then no. But, know that if you just drive the vehicle to your next door neighbor's house and you have an accident (collision), then you better have insurance or you could wind up having to pay a huge fine and/or have your lincese suspended and/or have your prospects for a future car insurance company require you to pay alot more for car insurance.

Does anybody know what could happen if your car was wrecked 50 days after purchase insurance was in-process the person driving it offered to help out in repairs and making payments but to no avail?

First, you should never drive a vehicle without insurance. If you were "in process", you have written a check. If the check was written and the insurance company had accepted payment, you're insured. If that hadn't happened yet, you were driving without insurance. At that point all you can do is become philosophical and say, "stuff happens". You can be grateful that it wasn't worse and people didn't die. At least you can replace a vehicle.

Why you have to insurance?

Insurance is a payment plan for when things go wrong. If you don't have insurance you are going to have to come up with all the money at once. With insurance, you are making payments over a period of time to cover you in the event something happens. Insurance is necessary because whether you are a renter or a homeowner, you will most likely keep all of your most cherished belongings in your home with you. Insurance could never replace the sentimental value of those belongings if lost, but it would at least provide financial indemnity to reduce the financial burden of losing those belongings.
