‘Kinda curious if we have this type of ordinance here in OKC. I’ll have to look into that.

If we do have it, it doesn’t seem like it’s enforced. We’re having a rash of wrecks involving uninsured motorists, and worse yet, leaving-the-scene incidents.

And this line from the piece really gets me...

“Despite the successful numbers in Athens’ ordinance, critics maintain the new law unfairly targets illegal immigrants, who do not have the ability to obtain a driver license or insurance.”

Well, waaah! In fact they do have the ability to get a license and insurance. It’s a priveledge (not a right) available to those who will follow the stinkin’ laws.

They could surely get a driver's license and insurance back in their home countries. Maybe the problem is that they are not where they are supposed to be, not our laws.

I have lived overseas in countries where I could not obtain a driver's license. And you know what? I didn't drive!

I would think that insurance companies would help subsidize the program, as it directly helps their bottom lines, first by reducing the number of uninsured motorists who would be getting into accidents with their policy holders, and second by encouraging people to get insurance
