ok APOC made a comment in the license thread about it being no one's business if someone had ins.
the fact is I agree 100% with that. Why do people feel the need to know everything about other people's lives and ensure that they are living up to "their" standards? we have a home cleaning business that my girl runs. A guy here at work is constantly asking me when we file our taxes, what we claim as expenses, how we claim the vehicles and other stuff. he just wants to make sure no one gets over on the system if he can't. I pretty much got him to shut up about it when I told him to check the web like he does on all of his neighbors. Apparently he knows a site where you can look up people's income and tax level and what not. why do people feel the need to "check up" on others? Maybe they can't afford to have everything just right. maybe they're trying to get ahead, maybe they feel it's worth the risk. If it doesn't affect you directly why worry about it? as far as insurance. Does anyone here really think your rates would go down if everyone had insurance? actually your rates would probably go up. it would mean more payouts by the companies. The payouts far outweigh the rates of a few slackers who currently don't have ins. |

![]() ![]() And opinions are like assholes, we all have one about ourselves and everyone else, as much as we'd like not to...as for on the board, I think most of us are bored at work and when asked have no problem giving input...its something to do at least... ![]() |

I think issues like vehicle insurance should be public information.

in TX now, an LEO can pull up a license plate, and it'll tell them if they have valid ins or not.

Well, in my case, this girl has openly offered up every bit of information to several people about her license status. I wouldn't ever ask about it. I don't care that much.
When she is driving around without a license, that is on her and will only affect her and her family. But when she is driving without insurance, she could seriously alter someone else's well being if she hits them. I guess in my mind, I am thinking about the people she might hit someday and how that would affect them. I've just become highly sensitive to this stuff lately. |

Being curious, wanting to know, etc. is very different from actually making a call.

![]() You buy insurance to protect yourself, not other people. Even liability insurance is in place to protect you from being sued. It's not there because you care about your neighbors or have a "social conscience"... ![]() ![]() |
