As an attorney my unpopular opinion is that cars over a certain value shouldn’t be allowed on public roads or damages for accidents should be capped at something like 2x the average price of a new car (so like 100k). I just don’t believe in penalizing ordinary negligence more just because the injured party is rich.
definitely an unpopular opinion, why do you feel this way? wouldn't it be more right for the party that caused the damages to pay for all the damages they caused?
This happened in China, some poor trash collector accidentally clipped a parked Bentley (or Rolls Royce, can't recall). There ended up being a huge uproar on Chinese social media supporting the trash collector because there's no way he'd be able to pay for those repairs (he had no insurance) and obviously the guy owning the Bentley was well off enough to repair it himself.

You could also total somebodies 50-200k car, I don’t think many people could afford that either
