- _bin_ 2y agoNo, draconian punishment of uninsured drivers should go way up. I am already paying a lot of money to compensate for them; I shouldn't pay more. Auto insurance is extremely expensive already.
- lokar 2y agoSerious accidents routinely exceed the minimum coverage. I carry extra insurance for myself for that situation. Why should I have to do that?
- _bin_ 2y agoMy point is the overall cost of any level of insurance is way higher than it should be because of uninsured drivers. Maybe, if we solved that, everybody should be able to afford a higher level of coverage to better account for serious accidents.
- lokar 2y agoYou could require new cars to take some kind of electric proof of insurance (and license) to operate :)
- fallingknife 2y agoUnfortunately the main effect of this would most likely be a massive increase in the percentage of drivers who are uninsured.
- dzhiurgis 2y agoJust put it in yearly registration fee, like most modern countries do. The profits stay within the government, fees can be easily adjusted to inflation and is enforced onto everyone thus reducing the headache for drivers and cops.
- SoftTalker 2y agoThen you'll have people not registering their cars. Which already happens a lot. They steal a plate or renewal sticker from another car or just drive with it expired.
- dzhiurgis 2y agoAny cop car with LPR would instantly stop and ticket them tho. When you say a lot, by how much really? I suspect it's tiny.
- SoftTalker 2y agoMaybe. I see cars driving around without any visible plates at all sometimes, and they don't seem to get pulled over. Traffic violations seem to be the lowest priority for cops the past few years. I think if you're the sort of person who would drive with a suspended license you would also drive with expired plates and no insurance.
