Interesting Idea in the UK

[Unicorn Jeff]

So get to writing tickets! Do you even write tickets to illegals?

He sends them to his ranch.

LMFAO@$32 insurance.

I was paying close to $400 when I was 21. Now Im 33 and finally have sub $100 insurance. I would be VERY skeptical of $32 insurance covering anything anyway.

It's pretty much worthless, but legal enough to not get ticketed for it.

Yup, I pay around $150 per month for 2 vehicles.

Insure.com has Texas at 15%.

The example in the UK says 1 in 25 don't have insurance. Which leads me to believe this really isn't about insurance.

You already have to provide it to get a license, inspection & registration, isn't that enough? And now we have a DB where the police can check simply by running your plate. Maybe we should all get bar codes tattooed on our foreheads that the pumps could scan. That would make it really convenient for big government.

Yes. If someone doesn't have ID, they go to jail and the vehicle is towed.

If they have ID, they get tickets.

That makes me feel better. Glad to hear you're enforcing the law. Is this a TX policy, or FW only? And how do they get out of jail? Do they still get tickets? Funny how they can come up with money to get out of jail, but not to buy insurance.

Umm I didn't have to prove it to renew my license or register any of my vehicles or renew their tags.

Really? When did that change? I always did, but I don't live in TX anymore.

I'm insured so it doesn't bother me. I don't see it infringing upon anyone's rights to cross reference with data like that. As stated earlier though, it could be used for the wrong purpose. But then again; can't everything?

Evidence of Financial Responsibility was on the inspection checklist for me last Feb.

Maybe because you live out in BFE? Here in Tarrant County I had too.

I get what you're saying on this. And I do not think it is about insurance either. It is about keeping everyone on the grid and keeping everyone in line. British government is way too controlling.

Inspection yes, but not registration. I do my renewals online and everything is mailed. I don't walk into the DMV unless absolutely necessary. I'm vehemently opposed to the federal government doing it but it is an interesting thought for the state. No insurance? No gas. No DL or illegal? No gas.

Pretty much solves the problem. Have ICE sitting there to pick up the illegals who can no longer get away and deport them to a country of our choosing.
