Right, but if 50% of the people on the road are completely uninsured, the economy grinds to a halt because driving suddenly becomes a potentially bankruptable activity even for those not at fault.
- kerkeslager 3y agoBold of you to assume that insurance would prevent you from becoming bankrupt. In my state (and many states) you're only required to carry $10k in liability insurance. That's barely going to scratch the surface of paying for a car accident which causes serious injury. Add to this that most people who experience bankruptcy due to medical bills have health insurance[1] as of 2019, and it's clear that driving already is a potentially bankrupt-able activity. In fact, living is a potentially bankrupt-able activity as long as we insist that health insurance companies have to be a part of our medical system. The economy ground to a halt for the poorest Americans at least a decade ago.
