Car insurance in Georgia is mandatory.
Under Georgian law, Abkhazia and South Ossetia are considered occupied territories. Accordingly, by visiting these territories from the Russian side, you are breaking the law. Therefore, if at the border they ask you if you have been to Abkhazia or South Ossetia, feel free to answer “no”.
