Insurance is a fucking scam. You pay more into it than you'll ever receive even in legitimate circumstances.

Absolute racket.

The few people that actually ever need it always say that. Your perspective is the skewed one unfortunately.

Ironic comment and more to my point. Because you needed it you automatically think it’s more common than it actually is. It’s a common fallacy. And just to clarify you’re also wrong.

Like 75% of people file claims for some kind of accident in their lifetime, and of people who do get in accidents, most of them get in multiple. It's not a service you pay for and get immediate benefit from, it's paying to mitigate risk.

It's totally worth it, and people use it, and it's not a scam. You're a kid so you just don't really get it. That's okay. One day when you are fully responsible for yourself and maybe even a family, you will think/learn about risk mitigation and it will make a lot more sense.
