I confess I still do not understand why people drive around with only liability coverage……especially when they have a nice car.
Sedan_Clan wroteProbably because they can't afford the car.I confess I still do not understand why people drive around with only liability coverage……especially when they have a nice car.

Every finance company that I know of requires full coverage for any home or vehicle loan, to protect their interest in the financed asset. All of my finance contracts include clauses that the bank can go out and buy insurance on my behalf and at my expense if they are notified that the policy that I'm providing lapses or has coverages changed below their minimum requirements.....
vreihen16 wroteIgnoring the license part, I feel like it should be criminal behaviour not having insurance of any kind, particularly liability. I don't really care if their car is covered from a repair perspective, but I think its garbage that they can hit someone, cause injuries to that person and go "Oh, well, no insurance, sorry, no assets either but you can sue if you want and get nothing". At least that's how I envision it works in the States.You would be surprised at the percentage of traffic stops on that live TV show where the driver doesn't have insurance of any kind...or a valid license for that matter.
We have an equally garbage "no fault" insurance up here which upsets me too, but at least I guess you are sort of covered...to a degree. Provided you insure yourself against the actions of others is more or less it.
Feels like if it got criminalized and the option was either:
A. Figure out a way to afford liability insurance
B. Enjoy an all expenses paid stay at the big house where your poop is gonna get shoved in
That a lot of people are suddenly going to find the resources to choose A that previously just couldn't seem to do so.
We have mandatory no-fault and no/under-insured insurance in NY State bundled in with total coverage, along with the ability to carry excess medical to cover your medical bills when the other person's injury coverage ends.
As for criminalization, NY State suspends the license of any vehicle owner one day for each day they drive without insurance (or simply don't surrender their license plates before dropping their insurance). This is why there are so many unlicensed drivers on the roads.
My DW used to work with a whole bunch of people who bought "cheap" cars with check engine lights on for an expensive repair. The cars couldn't pass a state inspection that way, so they couldn't be registered. Enter some borrowed/stolen license plates, and a prayer that they don't get caught. Insurance isn't going to pay out on an unregistered vehicle not even titled in the possessor's name, so they can save that expense as well. One of her co-workers had a 400+ day suspension on her license for not having insurance for over a year, and had to fall into the above group or not be able to drive to work and take her kid to daycare every day.
Another insurance gripe of mine is people who only carry the minimum required liability insurance, which for a long time was $10K/$20K here in many northeast states. My grandmother managed to total a brand new Mercedes, brand new Lexus, and 200-something feet of NJ Turnpike guardrail with her 1970's Battleaxe with the 500 V8 engine and 10/20 insurance. How far did that $20K coverage go to replace probably $65K worth of cars at the time? Also, many people don't know that the NJ Turnpike bills drivers for the cost to repair/replace their shiny guardrails at some crazy pre-published price per foot. It took her about 10 years of social security checks to pay those liens off on her house to make everyone whole. Oh, and that three ton of American steel Battleaxe drove away from the accident with little more than a small dent in the front bumper and ran for several more years.....

California refuses to really enforce driving without a license, etc. The law recently changed requiring multiple prior convictions before I can cite for a misdemeanor, but if you - meaning the local D.A. - never pressed charges in the first place, the tally never begins. It’s the silliest round robin statute.
On a positive note, this….

Does she give you “the looks”? Does she let your hand graze the booty on accident? Ever got that, “We would totally bone if left alone.” vibe?
