The Russians may have gotten it right. Over there, insurance - and traffic enforcement - seems to be a joke. About the only way a motorist can protect himself is with irrefutable video footage. I'm beginning to budget for one or two for my Elio, looking forward and maybe back too. Initially anyway, your biggest danger is going to be from gawkers.

Those lipstick-size dashcams are relatively cheap and don't take a lot of windshield acreage. Be sure to get one with good resolution, because there's nothing worse than trying to get important information from a bad picture. Hooked up to the ignition switch, they're recording when the engine's running. If they'll capture, say 15 or 20 minutes of video, that's plenty. If you're in a traffic accident, stop recording and eject the chip for safekeeping.
It also worked wonderesly in Russia to capture the comet that struck them awhile back, they had many views from many car cams. Also more recently, a plane crash in Formosa(?) which clipped a car as it went down was too captured by dash camera.

The two were last seen in deep conversation over the disposition
of that one remaining Ranger, thought to be Chuck Norris.
