You've heard the phrase, You can't squeeze blood out of a turnip? Take em to court, pay a laywer, miss a days work, get a judgement and they get ten years to pay or go to jail for contempt for 30 days...if...you complain after that ten years is up and they can find em easily. Jail time doesn't pay you, but it does feed them 3 squares a day...and you get to pay for that too.
People who have nothing to lose live on a different planet than those who do. [Too poor to pay attention?] If you meet someone who doesn't have liability insurance while driving a deadly weapon in public, they have already proven that they're not prone to being responsible, be it because they can't afford to be, and/or they just don't care. Either way, that's why the uninsured motorist insurance. A defensive driving course is a good investment too. You learn to trust physics over law and 'look' up the intersections for odd velocities within the 'cone of influence' [which 'you' can alter] before entering? That red light doesn't mean a thing to a bullet...or a car that's driving itself 'cause there's some nut loose at the wheel. Laws may make you pay after being dumb, but they never made anyone smarter before hand. The cost of checking up on you would raise the price of the tag...probably double. Gov't can't do anything cheap. It costs a dollar to save a dime and 2 dollars to give one away. Best bet is to live in the world you live in and keep one eye open for the tigers at all times.
