In my opinion ,mandatory car insurance is BS,too.Previously you could still sue the person who injured you if they did or did not have insurance.With required insurance and no-fault laws,insurance premiums are up not down as they promised us!
Requiring insurance for any one activity will inevitably lead to requiring insurance for all activities.
Lack of insurance and fear of lawsuits already is a major factor in many things not being done today that were once commonplace and the risks were accepted .In my father’s time and in my youth, boys playing baseball with sticks and improvised bases was common,now the neighbors,owner, and incipient busybodies call the police for fear of injury and lawsuits.
The ones who most benefit from mandatory insurance are the insurance companies.
Precisely. All of the selling points about 'uninsured motorist coverage' are falsehoods - no surprise there. The irresponsible people are exactly that. They will ignore any law therefore paying more in premiums by responsible drivers helps nobody but the state and the insurance companies - shocking!
