Ahhh... and car insurance was OPTIONAL!!

so you can drive without responsibility? One only hopes that if you rammed into someone the favor was returned.

How do you figure you could drive without responsibility? YOU were responsible... YOU could choose how you accepted that responsibility. Insure yourself, or pay yourself.

My car insurance on MY decision was $98/yr. and reduced each year with a clean driving record. The year car insurance became mandatory, my premium increased to over $500 per year and increased each year after... clean driving record or not.

Please, you don't REALLY think mandatory insurance is a good thing? Unless of course, you own an insurance brokerage.

Actually, back then most people took responsibility for their actions, and had the other car fixed if it was their fault. With the advent of mandatory insurance, people drive like flippin' idiots. They are content with the fact that insurance absolves them of any manners, or personal reason to drive safely. Oh yes, body work is triple now then what it should be...because of insurance.

I had no insurance years ago, and you can bet I drove cautiously. I drove like a nun, baby!
