liability coverage is $25,000 per person for bodily injury,
$50,000 per accident for bodily injury to two or more persons,
and $25,000 per accident for property damage. Remember, these

can afford on your budget.
* Exemptions are available: Some drivers are eligible for exemptions
from insurance coverage requirements or lapse fees. Appropriate
