Good point, but hte part that gets uninsured motorists is the part from
your referenced page that reads as follows: (Note that a significant
amount of money may be required to post that bail, insurnace coveres it
and you do not go to jail)
> If you are arrested as a result of an accident, you have the right to
release on bail. The amount of the bail will be fixed as the amount
necessary to pay for any fines, and damage done to the other party.
Article 31 of the Penal Code provides that in cases dealing with
negligence or imprudence, a valid Mexican insurance policy will provide
a basis for guaranteeing the bail so that the driver may be released.
Even if there is insurance, the driver may not be released if he/she was
driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol or in an extremely
reckless fashion. If bail is paid, it is paid to a court official. In
no cases are police officers in Mexico allowed to accept cash, for
whatever reason.

detained as long as needed to investigate the accident and to guarantee
the amount of damage done to the other vehicle even if you feel that the
accident is not your fault. If your vehicle is detained, you may be
required to post a bond in order to obtain its release. If your vehicle
is detained, you may be required to post a bond in order to obtain its
release. If you obtained Mexican insurance it will serve as the
guarantee needed. If not, you may have to purchase a separate bond.
