REQUESTING THE INSURANCE COMMISSIONER TO STUDY THE REQUIRING PROOF OF MOTOR VEHICLE INSURANCE TO PURCHASE FUEL.
-Snip-
WHEREAS, one suggested approach to removing uninsured drivers from the road is to deny them access to purchase gasoline at gas stations, by issuing motor vehicle insurance cards to insured motorists which would allow them to purchase gas; and
Chains We Can Believe In!
Thats nothing, soon Onstar will kill the engine if you are late paying the miles driven highway taxes.
...But they won’t require the Pres__ent to prove he was born there.
Fascism with a happy face.
Oh that gives me a photoshop idea.
No worries, this will never pass.
Think of the impact this would have on illegal immigrants.
Congress and the courts (and the ACLU) would never do anything to disadvantage them.
Yep! Or driving outside the area you were assigned to drive in.
In Maryland our licenses have magnetic coding with our age so liquor stores can read them. Yet MD give licences to illegals , on purpose
Who says illegals can’t get insurance? Or fake insurance? Or cancel their insurance a week after getting it?
It will NOT pass.
So the employees, who can’t make change for a even dollar amount are going to verify, my auto insurance.......... brilliant idea.
Barry isn’t asking permission anymore, he takes what he wants.
Right, the state can’t or won’t enforce the laws, so let’s make a private business responsible for enforcement and not pay that business for doing the job. Turn that convenience store part time clerk into a DMV enforcer and Insurance Commission investigator.
Here in Milwaukee, when a deadly fight happens outside a bar or near a gas station parking lot, the police and the alderman blame the business for not enforcing the law outside on the public way. Their remedy is to pull the bar’s license or restrict the gas station’s hours of operation.
For only $150 I will disable your Onstar.
Funny you would mention onstar controlling the vehicle - I’m a big Dr.Who fan (british scifi show) and this last season they had an episode where almost every car in the world had a directional device installed. No one thought a thing until it started giving directions toward large bodies of water, locking the doors so you couldn’t get out, or filling the cars with a deadly gas....... it was aliens taking over the planet.
I don’t like government plans, but since about 30% of Texas drivers do not have insurance (including someone who hit a colleague of mine this week), I am willing to at least study this idea further.
Meanwhile, here is my solution to the uninsured motorist. When they are stopped for an infraction, check the insurance. If fake, impound the vechile and make the motorist walk.
Or, if you’d rather, you could take the Mark of the Beast. Then you could buy (or sell), gasoline (or anything else).
Obama will fix the problem. Instant free government car insurance to anyone that has an accident without insurance.
I heard some GM bigwig on the news talking about their future car plans.....
.....He said they were building the car that people wanted.
Onstar was one of the "popular" features.
Are we really that stupid? I'm not, I already have a cell phone. I want my car to do what I tell it to do, not what someone else tells it to do.
