I don\’t think the article is racist but I think it shows a higher tendency of \”Hispanics\” driving uninsured. I live here in San Diego so I know there are all kinds of uninsured motorists around here. I\’m sure the illegals who don\’t have licenses to even drive are sure not going to find a insurer to cover them but this is a reason why they shouldn\’t be driving. This problem won\’t be solved unless there is a more serious consequence- i.e. deportation, which, I would support.
I would like to add I don\’t think Uninsured Motorists are limited to Hispanics at all- such drivers span all races but I can see why Hispanics are the majority.
Thanks for the great comment Sam. I agree with you 100%. We all need to focus on the main issue, UM Requirements. Legislature should\’ve implemented this law a long time ago with higher fines and possibly seize the vehicle.
I thought the article was about hispanics not understanding they need uninsured motorist coverage; shouldn\’t the title read \”Insurance requirements causing uninsured Hispanics to scramble for coverage\”????
Interesting to see all the comments. Agreed it should be about uninsured MOTORISTS, not picking out a particular segment of the population. Seems there is an irony in the article…suspend their registration, but let them drive away after getting a citation? Hmmm. Enforcement, but no follow up?? Another Hmmm.
Unbelievably misleading and racist. Since close to 32% of the people in the state are of Latino descent dosen\’t it make sense that a comparable percentage would be uninsured? This basically indicates the Latino\’s in the state are just like the rest of the people in California.
This article wants us to feel sorry for people of a certain race and to foot the insurance bill for that race. What else is new. I refuse to foot anyone\’s bill regardless of their race. If Insurance Journal seems to have become an activist insurance magazine as of late and not an Insurance Trade Publication. If they keep up with this nonsense, I am going to cancel my subscription. Enough is enough, we have many publicans, Rough Notes, Agent & Broker and many other local magazines.
We should not have to carry insurance to cover other people. Insurance in California should be set up so that if you want coverage, you buy coverage to cover your injuries and your vehicle. If someone has an accident without insurance (at fault or not)…then too &$#@ bad. I am amazed we are paying to cover other peoples injuries…

My advice- AVOID THEM ON THE ROAD!

Exactly why giving them the privilege of having a Driver\’s License will not make any of any safer as they are always harping about.
We drive safely so why should we be required to have insurance?
