Most of us have been taught to drive defensively – make sure to look out for the other driver to anticipate a dangerous situation and hopefully prevent a potential accident. That can be true of auto insurance policies, as well. We all have car insurance if we own a car, but some drivers may be underinsured, or even uninsured.
