Yep, I agree. That should have been a one way ticket to jail for that guy. The reason all the "non english" speaking variety run without insurance is because there's no consequence to them. Yeah, they trashed their car, but with liability insurance, it'd still be just as trashed. You can't go after them or their income because most are paid under the table and don't have much anyways.

I wish the state would require proof of insurance before you can even register a vehicle. That MIGHT help.

I pay a shitload of money to insure my 4 vehicles monthly just so I can cover the expenses from pricks like this.
