One in seven drivers in America has no auto insurance.
An insurance industry group says that number goes up along with the nation's unemployment rate, which is now above nine-percent.
The Insurance Research Council also says drivers who have insurance pay almost eleven-billion dollars a year to protect themselves against drivers who do not.
Massachusetts has the lowest percentage of uninsured drivers, four-percent, while in Mississippi 28-percent of drivers have no insurance.
