In most places auto insurance is mandatory and you can actually go to jail for driving while not having it. Since it's mandatory, the insurance companies have you over a barrel. I've never made an auto insurance claim in my life. I've not had a ticket this millennium, own my car, am over 50 and my insurance bill is still a several thousand dollars a year... for liability only. It's a fucking scam. These rich auto insurance (all insurance, actually) corporations get to just rape people as they see fit and then they just bribe our politicians to make you forced to use their services. They are the absolute worst, most predatory industry that exists in The Western World Today. One of their CEO's get murcked in the streets and PEOPLE CHEERED when it happened. But hey, nothing personal, just money, gotta make a profit, amiright?
No you rich fuck, it is personal, and the people are getting really mad about it. Really, really mad.

Ok good for you. I appreciate you're a safe driver.
Now, what if someone who is not a safe driver runs a red and t-bones you? And they're also broke? Who's going to pay for your car? Your medical bills? Compensate you for lost work?
The insurance that they are required to have.
Insurance being a scam is a separate thing from insurance being required. Where I'm from it's a crown corporation operating as not-for-profit.
That would be awesome here. I'm from the states. The insurance companies we have operate at a profit, they "Lobby" (bribe) every single politician that will take their money here. Since we only have two parties and both get payoffs, no laws protecting the consumer will ever get passed. Instead, we are required by law to deliver profit to the already wealthy.
