Fast forward 2 years, she complains about cost of her insurance, I say drop the uninsured, she saves a bunch.
Then 2 yrs later, gets hit again, this time other driver has no insurance, she gets her $10k PIP minimum, attorney asks, "why don't you have uninsured coverage......."
Oops
Valid point...it's a risk. It's just so expensive, but then Florida also has an estimated 20% of driver's that are uninsured. It's not hard for me to believe either.


Facts are stubborn things.
