Would it be wise to drive uninsured because your damage might not meet the deductible or because the insurance payment for your totaled vehicle is much less than you have in it? If so, I have been wasting money on auto insurance for the past 32 years due to the fact that I have had no accidents during that time. Nor have I been ticketed--even when stopped once with my detector visible had the officer chosen to shine his light on my windshield. And, I know of at least one officer of the law that had a detector stolen from his private vehicle. That sounds like an endorsement to me. |
The insurance thing is flawed. I can't control accidents but I can control my speed... When you speed you CHOOSE to speed. You don't go out the door and go, "I wonder whose car can I total today?" What if insurance didn't have acts of god and just said you were at fault and raised your rates? I have insurance for things I can't control. Same goes for life insurance. You know one day you're going to die, but when? So should you wait until you're 60 to get it or get it now?
Cops speed too in their personal vehicles. They drink and drive too. No one is perfect, I don't see that as an endorsement...
