If you have full coverage. A lot of people don't have full coverage. Also having ridiculous repair costs will eventually drive cost of coverage up.
Most banks require a full coverage and a deductible no greater than certain amount, when you finance the car. Once the vehicle is paid off, the owner can choose to switch the insurance coverage to the minimum amount required by law (liability only coverage). You'll be responsible for all the repairs yourself if you're involved in an at-fault accident. Like I mentioned before, if the repair costs of car stay high, the insurance companies will adjust the premium accordingly. They're not in the business to lose money.

Now you're just nitpicking. It's obvious that you won't be covered if you don't pay your premium.
