I think we've already had some comments about this topic, and it came down to cost of insurance being a part of the cost of owning a car.

This policy is no more racist than gas stations charging poor minorities the same amount for gas that they charge well-off crackers.

lovlytiff, I'm honestly very confused.

Please elaborate.

Even when I was almost penniless, I ALWAYS maintained car insurance. It was very difficult but if stopped by the law and you have no liability proof of insurance, it was a huge fine. And yes, it's the law.

I fully understand being poor...trust me... but I recently took defensive driving and a young woman in the class told me she does not ever get insurance because she could not afford it. But I could tell she simply did not see it as a priority. On the other hand, she was driving a late model Pontiac. With a fancy manicure. And a stylish handbag. And a professional hair streaking.

I can argue this a thousand ways but car insurance liability cannot be an 'option'. The towing of the car seems excessive but I cannot find an alternative answer. I was once too broke years back... too broke to have my registration or inspection sticker current, and that was in violation of the law. But it had no potential to ruin someone else financially. Destroying someone else's car (or person) with your uninsured car most certainly can and does cost others a fortune. Or worse.

Maybe Lovlytiff was thinking of South Africa, not Niger, where even getting a driver's license is a painful bureaucratic process that can take a year and has actually sparked off riots.

I guess if you make licenses impossible to get, the number of motorists drops down to almost nothing - except people would just drive without insurance AND without a license, only adding on to the problem.

Or maybe lovlytiff just can't spell racial slurs. Our educational system has truly failed.

A lame attempt at that. They could have gone with about a ɡazillion other options. As it is, they just slandered a poor African nation.

I'd illustrate, but I don't want to make Miko's job any harder than it already is.

Guess that explains the avatar. I'll be on the edge of my e-seat, Miko.

60 day trial period of TexasSure started Monday in Travis and Williamson counties, btw.

Also, we haven't seen any blogging on lovlytiff's antics Miko (afaik).
