Caveat, this is geared towards Michigan drivers.

First and foremost, if you are involved in an accident that you are deemed responsible for then you would have to pay out of your own pocket for all vehicle damage, property damage, bodily injuries, and any other expenses associated with the accident. You could also be fined by police for not having insurance and depending on the circumstances you could possible have your license revoked or suspended.
Most states require vehicles that are registered for road use to be insured; likewise, most states require that if a person is driving a vehicle, that they have insurance as well.
The type of insurance that most states require you to have is liability coverage. Liability coverage is also referred to as third-party insurance. Liability insurance really doesn't do anything for you; rather, it provides coverage for injury/damage that another party incurs that you are responsible (liable) for.
If you are driving and you don't have the state required insurance, there are several things that can happen to you. You can get cited for a violation for not having insurance and your vehicle can get towed. If you are involved in an accident and you do not have insurance, there can be problems even if the accident is not your fault. If the accident is your fault, then there can be a lot of issues. In addition to getting cited and having your vehicle towed, you can be sued by the party you injured for their damages (damages can include property damage as well as medical expenses).
We've had some clients that were responsible for an accident that at the time did not have auto insurance; in addition to some of the problems listed above, they were sued and that resulted in a lien being placed on their home.
Insurance laws and regulations vary from state to state, and also vary based on if you have a lien (note) on your car. I suggest contacting your professional insurance agent to review your situation to make certain you remain "legal" in the eyes of your state and help eliminate any potential problems that can arise.
