In New York state can the reposses your car if you have no insurance?

Im not from ny but in tn.,Ohio and mich.they will for sure you see there collateral is in jeppordy and they have to pertect their interest. Yes you must have insurance in NYS.The rates have skyrocketed so in alot of cases it costs more for ins. than your car payments.You can in NYS have a friend register the car in their name to get lower rates and pay the ins. for him.
