My car was written off by the insurer. Can I legally continue to tax, insure and drive it?

Question:
The car is low value, hence the write-off, and it was offered to me to keep as part of the insurance claim settlement. The car is safe and roadworthy with only cosmetic side panel damage.

Buying a car in the US as a foreigner?

Check with your insurance carrier. It may depend on where you are. Here in New York, I have a written off 1991 Maxima. It runs great. Because it was more than eight years old, I even got back the original title rather than a "demolition" title. It is registered and insured, and I drive it every day. The only thing I cannot do is get my insurance company to pay any more money for damage to MY vehicle if I crack it up again. Everybody and everything else is covered.

Do I have to get my car registered before I can get it insured?

yes, my car was totalled twice before I gave it up :)

Husband backed into another car?

You should probably check with your state bureau of motor vehicles, but I would think so.

How long they take to issue the pass plus certificate after sending the training report?

No, and do us all a favor and don't do it. Your insurer will reject the claim, so you'll end up hosing whoever you hit next.

California Driving Records shows accident?

If I understand your point, your car was totaled by the insurance company. They wrote you a check and let you keep the car. As long as the car is made legally road-worthy in accordance with your state laws, you can drive it on the road. The insurance company will not cover the existing damage again, so that would have to be fixed first to be covered a second time.
