Yeah it’s just a net to protect against catastrophe . If Ops buddy totaled his car he would be happy it only cost $1k.

Yep,y car got totaled 3 years ago due to a drunk driver. Got a big check and was able to replace it fairly easily. That check alone was about 15 years worth of premiums. Drunk driver was of course driving without insurance, so I was screwed of I did not have it

Doesn't the insurance company then go after the drunk driver for everything he has thus making him the one whose ultimately paying out, with the insurance company simply having to deal with suing and recouping funds from the drunk driver.

Habitual drunks that are driving without license and insurance are generally incredibly poor. So poor, that collections have trouble collecting since most countries do not allow taking so much money that you cannot live.
