Listen up... if you walk into a used car lot and buy a car with cash,
you just drive out. The salesperson isn't going to ask you about
insurance.

Listen up.. No matter how many times you say it, it isn't true, at least
not here in CT. Might be in Kaliforna, but only to accommodate illegals
and derelicts... But not in CT. Every car sale is recorded, cash or
otherwise, the Tax man wouldn't have it any other way.

If I get a minute I will look up the California insurance law but I
bet it is as strict as any state. The open question is whether the
cops enforce it. It is possible in that touchy feely state they do not
want to take a chance of finding an illegal.
Florida is more serious about it.
We have gone paperless too, no "insurance card" in your wallet. The
cop gets your insurance status as soon as he punches in your tag
number. They do impound your car if you are not in compliance

At least on new cars, the dealer copies your insurance tag. All companies
will cover the new car Liability for about 30 days. They do not care about
the collision coverage, just liability.
