    no thanks. i hate the entire concept of insurance (especially lawfully forced insurance). there’s no way i want them spying on me.

    there are parts of the west where there’s not another car for miles. why should i be punished for minor infractions on a lonely country road when i put no one but myself at risk? this is the same as getting ticketed by a camera for running a red light in the middle of nowhere.

    if the law and technology becomes a tool of oppression, it no longer serves a useful purpose for mankind.

      Basic traffic liability insurance sorta makes sense - it’d suck you had your car wrecked by someone broke and were SOL.

        i think that if i am going to be forced to purchase a product from the market, then the government should just provide the product. add the damages to my tax bill if i get in an accident that’s my fault.

        but don’t make me buy shit just to function in society.

        it’s a scam. the money you pay in is always more than they pay out. it’s a for profit industry that i’m forced to fund. it’s a racket, no different from organized crime.

          Our government will forcibly insure you if you don’t have one, so technically you don’t have to buy anything. It’s just more expensive than anything on the market.
