    You could if you wanted to keep any vehicle without insurance. In most cases you would not be within the letter of the law. The bigger concern would be that in almost all cases you are not covered for any liability issues if you do not have coverage on the vehicle and someone is hurt when either using it or as a passenger. Contact your local agent to get coverage. Do you really want to leave yourself and your family financially exposed in the event of an accident?

    In most states, if not all, insurance is requireed to register a vehicle for road use.  There are situations, for example if one owns a farm, that farm owner may have vehicles (trucks, trailers and other equpment) that are used strictly and exclusively on the farm and never enter the public roadways.  You should check with your local authorities, but usually in situations like that, incurance is not a requirement. 
    If you do have a private passenger car and it is registered, then insurance must be maintained.  However, if it is a seasonal car, then talk to your insurance professional to see if your insuring company allows for the temporary suspension of liability coverage while that car is garaged in the off season.

    The answer to this question depends on the laws of the state you are from.
    If you plan non operating (PNO) and renew car registration with PNO fee you don't have to have insurance on it.
    The only requirement that insurance company may have is that your car is properly registered with DMV. For instance, if the car is salvaged and there is no title, you can't insure it. But if the title was issued - you can get coverage. 
    Here is a tricky question: if you own an off road mobile equipment, for instance, the one used in construction, and this vehicle is not designed / nor used on public roads - you are not required to register (i.e. forklift). But if you cross a highway on a public road, than this creates a legal issue. This is a known fact. In the end, to answer your question more info is required. Don't relay on anything you read here.
