How do we KNOW the court would find it constitutional to force people to buy car insurance? So far as I can tell, there is no federal mandate to buy car insurance.
Meanwhile, states may force you to buy insurance, but only if you own a car. So far as I can tell, no state requires car insurance just for having a drivers license. So I’m guessing the requirement is that if you want to put a car on one of the state’s roads, you need to have insurance the state approves of.
That seems like a somewhat rational requirement, given that your presense on the roads could damage other people’s property, and they want to make sure you can pay for it.
So far as I can tell, my state doesn’t require me to have collision insurance for my own car, only for others. So I don’t have to insure myself, OR MY car — I just have to have insurance for the damage I could do to other people’s cars.
The car insurance analogy is so far off, that it is almost juvenile to bring it up.
Damn. As soon as my insurance company found out my kids got there drivers licences, I was paying out the a$$.
No way in hell could I get over by saying they wouldn’t be driving my car. I could only get out of it by proving they were going to college over 1000 miles away.
