Well, you need insurance, because I'm pretty sure you can't afford the payment for when you, say, crush both my legs.

I never understood why it's legally mandatory to pay a private company just for the privilege to drive a metal death box (death metal box?) on poorly maintained yet tax payer-funded roads or get punished with debt if I don't?

I'm sure I've become more conservative since being active on Lemmy. Shit like this is why.

This post combines two of lemmites favourite past times.

Car hating and being clueless to how things actually work.

[–] General_Effort@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

It's not car hating, at all. It's a car owner who explains why the world owes him money.

Before Lemmy, I would have pegged this as typically US conservative: Self-centered morons who refuse to learn things and instead make up conspiracy fantasies about how they are robbed. It's basically how you get the Trump tariffs.

Conversely, you can also just drive around with no insurance at all and still do all the safety things and be terribly careful as if you had insurance.

Most can probably go through life without ever having to use the insurance or be stopped by the police.

And if you ever do get into an accident, if it's not that serious, you'll end up paying the same amount up front as you did if you had made regular payments over many years.

If it's serious, no matter how you deal with it it's going to be expensive ... with insurance it will cost you ... without insurance you'll probably end up in prison.
