(USA specific) Depending on the state, "totaled" might still mean YOU can't fix and drive your car again.

In Illinois, you can only retain a totaled vehicle if it was hail damage or it's a "vintage (9+ yr old) car.

Totaled means the insurance company buys the car from you.

It's not your car anymore, so obviously you don't get to drive it.

They're pushing similar laws through in the EU as well.
