Starting June 1 Wisconsin’s new mandatory car insurance law will kick in, and drivers will be required to carry proof with them that\u00a0they’re insured. http:\/\/www.jsonline.com\/business\/94712009.html<\/a><\/p>\r\n

Once the law is effective, drivers who get stopped by police and don’t have a proof-of-insurance\u00a0card or letter with them will be subject to\u00a0 a rather stiff $200 fine.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

The car-insurance requirement is the last step in an overhaul in state car insurance laws\u00a0that was part of Gov. Jim Doyle’s budget last year, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.<\/p>\r\n

Proponents of the auto-insurance overhaul argue that drivers should have adequate liability insurance to pay for the damage they do to vehicles and other drivers.<\/p>\r\n

Those\u00a0who opposed the changes in the law maintained that the regulations\u00a0were good as they were, since roughly 85 percent of Wisconsin drivers\u00a0right now are purchasing liability coverge voluntarily. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

The law’s critics had also complained that low-income residents who don’t have the money to buy car insurance\u00a0or pay the fines could lose their driver’s license — and as a result lose their jobs, as well.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
