This will depend on the location you live in but generally the answer is yes. Most place legally require liability insurance in order to register a vehicle of drive on public roads. Secondly, if you finance a vehicle the contract will require that you obtain and keep physical damage insurance to protect the interest of the bank or finance company even if you don't care about your own loss if the vehicle is damaged.
