Cheap auto insurance and Prop. 17 in California

Somewhere in the dim and distant past of learning English, an idiom surfaced referring to gift horses and their mouths. The translation is that, when someone gives you a gift, it’s ungracious of you to publicly examine it too carefully. Yet, in the case of Prop. 17 which appears on the ballot in California, we should perhaps open the horse’s mouth and examine it’s teeth. It may prove to be an old Trojan horse and a gift we should reject.

Auto insurance quotes for commercial vehicles

Having car insurance is mandatory in the vast majority of states, regardless whether it’s a personal or commercial auto you are driving.

Of course, liability coverage is a must and the policy should carry the state specified minimum amount of bodily injury and property damage liability as indicated in minimum state requirements. Of course, one can assume that if the vehicle is owned by the enterprise it’s the enterprise that will pay for the damage due to the accident. However, not all companies can assume such financial responsibility, especially if speaking about smaller home based businesses, and there’s no other way to gain the necessary financial support other than purchasing commercial auto insurance.
