If you cannot afford insurance, then most likely you shouldn’t be able to afford a car. Take the Bus and save up money for a car and insurance! Why should the rest of us be penalized if an uninsured motorist hits us and not pay for their liability (mistake)?
So Don, you are ok that only the people who have insurance should subsidize the poor instead of all of us? Have you not heard of the CA state auto plan? It has nothing to do with New Mexico. Also, my bet is that the majority of uninsured in this state all already on welfare and food stamps or illegal. How much do you want to bet that over 75% of these uninsured drivers have cell phones, ipods, and big screen TV’s as well. It is time for CA to quit being the biggest purveyor of our massive entitlement program. People, get off your collective butts and get a job!
so — the other thing is they have customized their car with huge stereos, rims and other items…willing to spend the almighty $$ on high value items, but they forget about insurance — which to me is even more HIGH Value, especially if you hit someone and don’t have insurance or not enough…
not that wud be interested, to qualify for welfare and our hard earned tax dollar – why not have them drug tested…this wud solve a few things: since drugs are illegal, which wud drive the dealers out of business..and then cause them to get a job, even if min wage…
I don’t really think the founding fathers invisioned a country such as ours is today. Everything we have access to should be ours by right instead of ours by hard work. Pride and responsibility, both in ourselfs and in others, has rapidly disappeared from this society. Welfare should be a last resort, not an entitlement. Responsibility to insure your vehicle should be just that, something you do to protect both yourself and others from financial hardship. Driving is not a RIGHT! It is a privilege as is a lot of the things that we seem to be taking for granted these days.
so since we all agree that it is a priviledge, then we need remove those folks whom do not have insurance and take those licenses away…require them (like NC) to have an insurance just to have a driver’s license…this in itself wud solve problems….the state can still issue id cards to solve the issues of cigarettes and liquor…but the issue at hand is to get those whom don’t carry insurance a hit on the head to remind them they need to be responsible drivers…again: responsible and priviledge go hand-in-hand in this case…
If I still lived in California, I would have to have my license plates welded to my vehicle. When the cops confiscate the plates of those who drive without insurance, the uninsured may find it easier to “borrow” my plates rather than purchase insurance.
