I've had Uninsured Motorist insurance for several years (in California).

In Southern California, uninsureds abound.  I've only been in two accidents,
In both, the other driver was a young (20's) male NOT carrying his license
and NOT insured.  The second time the guy Claimed he had insurance...when
I called the company the next day, they said he hadn't been with them for
two years.  If you are driving in ANY major metropolitan area, I strongly
advise you to get this additional insurance.
