The joke there is that every driver in the US still needs to carry uninsured driver insurance because so many don't have any and there are no checks. And of course the coverage minimums are utterly laughable; put a kid in a wheelchair and you are looking at many many millions of damage, $100k isn't gonna cut it.

Since I was stuck there (caught in the pileup, but undamaged), I chatted with the valet. He said that the Bentley would be totaled -- no purchaser would take it, obviously. He said the dealer insurance would handle the whole thing; there was simply no point in even calling the kid's insurance: the car was probably easily 5-10 times the kid's liability limit.
