For the same reason you cannot rob a bank, it is most likely the law in the State where you live. Also it would be terribly stupid and irresponsible not to carry auto insurance. If you have an accident and hit someone else where it is your fault you will be legally responsible for all damages to their vehicle as well as injuries, deaths, loss of income, and any other cost that you may do to the other person. The insurance policy takes this risk from you as well as paying legal fees and even defending suits where someone blames you for an accident you did not cause.
