DD's car was creamed by an uninsured driver. Good news she was not hurt. Bad news, other driver had no insurance. So end of the day, will end up costing the DD about 500 bucks. Thing is she is a sing...

Here in Texas, the penalty for driving without a license is less than driving with no insurance. In Austin, hit and runs or no insurance is the norm for more than 50% of the wrecks around here (from one insurance statistic I read.)
San Antonio is proactive. If a vehicle has no insurance, it gets towed and impounded on the spot. No ifs, ands, or buts.
I probably will be accused of insanity here, but I have wondered about a fuel tax that would be used for auto insurance. Yes, it would be a tax, but it would likely be cheaper overall than what we pay now for auto insurance in the long run. This also gets rid of the issue of uninsured motorists completely.
