Re: Sb1588 to eliminate most vehicle inspections

Virginia, at least at that time, had a requirement that insurance companies notify the state of all the persons they insured. If someone dropped their insurance, the state had to be notified. If someone dropped their insurance, the state sent someone out to confiscate their license plates. This was before everything was computerized. I don't see why this couldn't be done in Texas now, if there was the political will to do it.
Same was true when I lived in Maryland. I had a car that I blew the engine on so I stopped paying the insurance. Sheriff showed up on a Saturday morning to collect the plates. I was young and a bit foolish and the time, so I was just happy he wasn't their to collect me!

I'm am denser than usual, I don't I understand you're point.

Are you saying, if someone pays for what's called 'uninsured motorist coverage' or something akin to that, like in my posted experience of an illegal crashing into me, my coverage shouldn't exist?

If so, I'm baffled.

Please, clue me in.

Thanks!

If someone wants to run around uninsured they should not benefit from my insurance if I hit them. As the system sits today if:


#1> An uninsured person hits me and is at fault, my insurance pays.

#2> If I hit an uninsured person and it is MY fault, my insurance also pays.


My point is if someone isn't part of the insurance "system" they should receive no benefit from it.

Is she an illegal alien?

I had one crash into me years ago, no license, no insurance and when I finally, after much effort, got L.E. to respond they just let him go - no ticket, no nothing.

My insurance company eventually paid for the damage to my vehicle and the miserable, "I get out of being responsible because such things like insurance and being licensed are of no importance to me, why should I - L.E. lets me break the law with impunity whenever I care to"

She should be locked up! Why does she get to break the law? People like her burn me up!

Only the law abiding in the U.S. are punished, as in my insurance premiums went up and I was lucky I wasn't injured by the illegal that t-boned me because he ran a stop sign due to his extremely, well, non-existent driving skills.

Insurance should be "no pay no play." If hit someone w/o insurance they should get $0 even if the accident was 100% my fault.
