I wish I was kidding. When the subject of uninsured motorists comes up in licensing or continuing education classes, the number they throw around is between 30% to 50% of the cars on our extremely crowded and poorly planned roads are uninsured. Our former socialist insurance commissioner, Debra Senn, said back in the mid 90's 'its my job to enact the law, someone else's job to enforce it'. I will give her credit for setting up a department to help holocaust survivors with reparations. Stupid me - I just didn't realize what a huge problem that is. I just emailed, yesterday, two state legislators and one state senator and am looking forward to their very predictable response - either no response or the same tired idea. Enforcing the mandatory insurance law unfairly discriminates against the poor. I am starting to think that prosecuting someone for a crime might also be discriminating against the poor. At least here on the loony left coast.
