The thing that confuses me (okay, "one" thing among thousands) is that it is already in the interest of insurers to sweep out the uninsureds. I meeen, we gotta assume that each paying policyholder is a source of earnings. If there really is this big pool of dorks driving "naked", I'd expect the big insurance underwriters to convince the motor vehicle and law enforcement communities to get tough with uninsureds. The way we've "gotten tough" (a bit over the top imho) with DUIs. There's cash money in it for the insurers.

But they're not doing it. What am I missing? The pie is already out there, even without levying yet another surcharge on dead dinosaurs.

(If I were gonna tax gas, I wouldn't sully it with penny-ante stuff like auto insurance. No, I'd go after bigger fish, like clean air and carbon cycle management. Clean air is something we have much more of thanks to legislation since the 70s. Now time to fill in some annoying gaps, like buses and other big Diesels.)
