    Sounds wild to me. In UK the third party liability insurance limit is usually in the millions.

      It’s the difference between minimums and maximums. In most American states you have to have $50,000 worth of liability insurance to legally drive, which covers the majority of financial consequences for accidents.

      That being said, now that cheap cars are $35,000 brand new, it might be a smart thing if you’re an American driver to have $100,000 or $125,000 worth of liability insurance to keep yourself from going bankrupt.

      The extra $100 a year for that coverage would totally be worth it if you ever have to use it.
