14. Because owning a car is not a right.

Owning a gun is.

But, while we're on the subject, I think mandatory liability insurance for driving a car is simply a way to penalize the poor. It's a money train for Insurance Companies. And these laws got passed because the Insurance Companies lobbied the various State Legislatures with campaign contributions.

Given the horrendous state of affairs of public transport in many places in the US, it is almost mandatory to own a car. People who have money are going to buy insurance to cover themselves and their car anyway. All this mandatory liability insurance is a cost for the poor that they are never going to get a return on. If they don't have insurance, and cause an accident, they're never going to pay off the judgement anyway. They will probably loose their license for a period of time.

You want to be covered, cover yourself, that is is my view.
