For Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), DWI stands for “driving while illegal.”

It would be interesting to see what McCain's position was when auto insurance companies were mandated to include uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage.

Those are nothing more than the payer of the policy subsidizing those DWI's who are uninsured and underinsured.

Since I and most other drivers MUST show proof of insurance to get a driver's license or annual auto tag, I wonder where all those uninsured and underinsured motorists come from? [That's a rhetorical question. We know where most of them come from.]

It's my understanding here in OK....1 in 3 drivers are not insured.

It's also my understanding..that people buy insurance to get their tags and such..and then cancel it.

Uninsured yes, underinsured no. There are many underinsured drivers in Massachusetts who simply choose to take the minimum coverage, which is nowhere near what’s required to cover a serious accident. I remember listening to Bruce Williams on his program when he said (I am paraphrasing) that if you’re carrying less than a million dollars coverage for personal liability you’re irresponsible. I agree with him.

They get insurance long enough to get their license then drop it.
