So what's your point? All 40% are breaking the law, so why add to it? Grandma
and Granddad need to be taken off the road too. That's probably 39.9% of them.
LOL

Why should I pay to protect myself against people that are driving illegally and

Yeah, but kind of hard to drive without a vehicle having tags.

The police could careless if a person is here illegally. Another thing they
should be doing besides checking to see if my seat belt is on.

Yeah but those are home grown. Don't need to add to the number of people that
shouldn't be on the road or be here period.

I do.

Your point is that you will use offensive, racist fighting words when you see fit, no matter whether it is necessary to make a cogent argument, which clearly you are incapable of doing without them.

My point is that makes you a dick. A racist dick at that.

And on that note, I'm going to shut up about this because (a) anything else I have to say is not for public consumption and (b) it is now so far away from the subject of this thread that it is a distraction and of no value to the larger discussion.

Rete: Is there an ignore feature on the MB? How does one access it?

Dekka,

Are you saying that the state of California requires every driver to have uninsured motorist coverage or that Insurance companies are required to offer it. I am saying I am not required to have it as I simply signed a waiver and it knocked off about 84 bucks a year. So it is NOT required though you may be saying that it is required that they offered it.


Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UMC) – Provides coverage for a policyholder involved in a collision with a driver who does not have liability insurance or who does not have sufficient liability limits to pay for damages. UMC comes in two parts: uninsured motorist bodily injury (UMBI) and uninsured motorist property damage (UMPD). UMBI coverage pays for injuries to you or any person in your car when there is a collision with an uninsured driver. UMPD coverage pays for the property damage to your car when there is a collision with an identified uninsured driver. UMC must be offered when you purchase liability coverage for your auto. If you decline UMC, you must sign a declination waiver.

The above was taken from from the CA insurance website.

http://www.insurance.ca.gov/CSD/Broc...e/AutoTerm.htm

Now I also want to add that I enjoy your posts and maybe we were talking about different things. I am also glad you did not let that poster drag you into a debate!

Never really understood the concept of UM. If everybody insures
themselves instead of the other party and just let those who choose not
to purchase insurance fend for themselves.

Hi All,


Thank God for that too. I didn't agree with about anything that guy
said, but he was only using the "N" word to make a point. It's OK to
call white men rednecks or white people white trash, but the PC police
come raining down on you if you call the black trash the "N" word.


Take care,

Mike

Somebody hears about driver without insurance.
Of course it must be the immigrants.
They are probably illegal anyways.
And who needs them.
I don't know them, it's there fault.
Remember 9/11 - all foreigners are assholes.
Let's shut down the borders. Yea...
Nobody in, nobody out. Problem solved.

Remember:
Almost everybody is a foreigner, almost everywhere!

I can't believe the ignorant people here.
This is a country of ****ing free speech.
I like the F- word. It makes things clear.
Get ****ing uninsured motorist coverage.
If you don't - get ****ed and loose your ass.
Why do you think they sell it here?

Because Americans are such nice people?
Leave the immigrants alone, your parents
or grand parents probably were immigrants.

And turning this into a democratic debate is retarded.

I have uninsured motorist coverage because then
I can say **** THE ****ING ****ERS.
My car gets fixed and my medical bills are paid.
And I don't have run to mama and cry the blues.

If everybody would take care of themselves,
everybody would be taken care of...

This stupid, ****ing moron not getting uninsured
because he wants to save $80 bucks a year -
I ****ING HOPE YOU GET HIT HARD

I don't do either. So I *don't* think it's OK. Just because someone else does, doesn't make it right. The N word is a term with deep historical meaning and it has NEVER been innocuous, no matter how many white and other non-black folks want to pretend it is so they can get their digs in at black folk. Everyone who throws it around knows that. (If you don't know that, you have no business being anywhere but in the library learning about the country's history, and in the street getting some first-hand education about why this term is absolutely positively not acceptable being expressed by anyone who is not in that group; to me it isn't even acceptable amongst ourselves).

My vehement reaction to this is not about me being "PC", and frankly I find the term PC to be very self-serving and never used by anyone who has ever actually been victimized by this type of behavior. IMO PC is a backlash conservative term used since the Reagan era to silence anyone who demands a certain level of civility and respect from majoritarian people when peoples of different ethnicities, races and cultures are discussing difficult subjects. IMO my original point remains -- if you cannot make an argument without using derogatory terms, none of which has any demonstrated value except as a personal insult to people -- it's better not to argue at all.

All IMO and YMMV of course.

You are incorrect. The requirement that each auto insurance policy carry UM/UMI insurance in limits equal to or in excess of their liability limits is mandatory. See Insurance Code section 11580.2.

You are probably confusing UM/UMI with Medical Payments coverage, which is optional and which protects the insured for medical expenses that s/he incurs if there is no liability coverage held by the other driver which can respond. Medical Payments coverage is usually not volunteered by most carriers, and not held by most insureds because they have health insurance that covers these costs. But that is not the same as UM/UMI, which covers the damages that most people incur in an accident - damage to their own vehicle at the hands of an uninsured/underinsured driver. That is why your insurer pays to fix your car even when you are not at fault in an accident - because you are paying for it, by having UM/UMI coverage.

PS. Comprehensive and Collision coverage is also not mandatory. It is as a practical matter because no lienholder will finance a vehicle without it since their security (the car) could be lost. But the law absolutely does not require either comp or collision coverage, and many people who do not have car loans are self-insured for both of these. Particularly with older cars.

BTW I live in California too. And until 1999, better than 1/3 of my legal work involved Proposition 103 and insurance coverage matters on behalf of a major insurance conglomerate. So, as embarassed as I am to admit it, this is something I know like the back of my hand because I was once an insurance company hired gun
DA: I have to DISAGREE with you as well. I happened to have just had an uninsured motorist conversation with my company's insurance agent (a Farmer's policy).. we do not have it on our vans. Our insurance is pretty expensive, however, to help lower it we don't have the uninsured motorist because as employees we can use worker's comp if there is an accident w/ a motorist that isn't insured.

Also, when I was first insuraning my car (old nissan) with AAA I had rec'd a quote for just liability only. Then my insurance agent friend (State Farm) told me to have them add uninsured motorist coverage. If I had not had that added I would have only liability only on the car.

Now, if the car is being financed / leased than you do need full coverage...

Having gone back and looked at the actual statute itself, I stand corrected. You are allowed to specifically waive UM/UMI in writing in California.

On the other hand, my former client would have died before it let that happen, having been sued oodles of times after various waivers of coverage that turned out not to be waivers when their client had a loss and wanted to collect, which is probably why I was so hard and fast in my recollection. Without basis, it turns out, in this case.

My apologies.
