Car Insurance-gaps in coverage and premium

I have purchased a car. In calling several Agents, it appears that in am being penalized for a 30+ DAY gap in insurance coverage. I asked one agent if this was a lawful practice. His response was, ” It’s always been that way, so it must be. ” I’m not buying this answer. I am 43 y/o male, with a perfect driving record.
