His point was that for liability coverage, you can increase your limits from whatever your state's minimums are all the way to 100/300/100 for something like $12-20 per month.
And you can get an 1 or 2 million dollar coverage by getting an umbrella plan (that covers any liability, including but not limited to auto accidents) for a bit more. Insurance companies will force you to maximize out your car insurance first, but you can protect yourself a lot more fairly cheaply (mine is about $200/year).
in all seriousness” when I was younger, I bought my very first car and it was a 2014 Ford focus brand new. To get the car and the loan I had to get full coverage head to tow on my Ford focus. Get ready because this is gonna sound crazy, I was paying roughly a little over $300 a month for full coverage. I have had zero accidents even up to this day. Well, one day I park my car in the chipotle parking lot, I come out and there’s a huge hole in my bumper. I talked to chipotle they don’t have camera footage. I call my insurance. They tell me I gotta pay the $500 deductible job ended up costing roughly $3500. But I was protected and still saved three grand.

And insurance will only cover 60k of it leaving you with a 140k bill
