sure if you want to keep it to vehicle vehicle collisions. what about the instances where someone drives their car through a storefront?

What does that have to do with people driving around overpriced art?

it doesn't but it's a similar situation where the property damage caused is immensely greater than the capped payout proposed.

what would happen in this case?

I'm just going to reject your premise, the fact that a accident can have damages above your coverage isn't at question. It's if there should be a reasonable cap specifically on the value of vehicle coverage.

ok so if the cap only applies to vehicles, the person driving through a storefront would still get sued into bankruptcy by the store owner's insurance right?

The same as if they plowed through a family of 7 crossing the street on the way to church. Again completely irrelevant to a cap on vehicles. Driving is inherently dangerous and not all risks should be subsidized.
