It decides when coverage really begins, how an insurer may end it, what role a credit report may play, and what protection exists if an insurer fails.

Keeping Washington Auto Coverage in Force: Cancellation, Renewal and Financial Responsibility

Washington law protects personal auto coverage in two ways. First, for most personal auto policies, an insurer must give written warning before it ends coverage. After a policy has been running a while, it may cancel only for a few specific reasons. Second, with a few narrow exceptions, anyone driving a vehicle subject to Washington registration must be able to pay for harm they cause. Insurance is the usual way to do that, but it is not the only way.
