The second one is actually a thing. Wrong nomenclature, but you can deposit ~$30,000 with the state and not pay a car insurance bill.

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Yep, depending on exactly what you're doing there are a few ways. Unless you're VERY well off or have a fleet of cars it's almost never worth it.

Surety bonds are one way, and you're talking about self insurance. Many states offer one or both, and the self insurance route can be anything between 10k and 127k depending on state law.

But I'm sure that guy is talking about some paperwork you can file to make other people pay when you rear end someone without a driver's license.

Chances are that they want to see real 30k dollars, not sovcit invented ones like their famous "coupons".

Well, sending the ticket back is easy. Take an envelope and a stamp...

Include a notarized uno reverse card.

No card needed: just write in all caps in red pen at exactly 45 degrees. That's how you know it's legal!

First on sounds like satire on trumps tariffs

It legal in 32 states. It's a little cheaper up front vs insurance but if you have an accident it's a lot more expensive and you don't get any of the additional perks or services that insurance offers.

That's the second one.
