You are correct that passengers are covered if you have UM insurance. But, I expect my passengers to have health insurance like I do.
Uninsured motorist insurance is optional in Florida. But, regarding the mandatory insurance, I don't know why Florida doesn't require insurance companies to issue a sticker for the vehicle to prove that the car is insured, like the state does with the registration sticker.
