+1. Absolutely.

If they were concerned about safety, they'd start cracking down on the junk barges dropping spare tires, used lawn furniture, (probably stolen) landscaping equipment, PVC piping, gatorade jugs, metal ladders and Christ-knows-what-else all over the roadways (and yes, I've personally seen and witnessed all these things happen, most of them while on my motorcycle riding behind, which tends to give one a little "pucker factor").

Either that or they'd crack down on the friggin' illegal aliens that buy a (possibly stolen) $500 beater, go down to the "Habla Espanol" insurance place, obtain a policy (usually by paying for one month down), get their registration and are never seen/heard from again until they have to renew the following year, when they repeat the process. No incentive for law enforcement/government to do anything about it though - their insurance company buddies are makin' too much money denying claims on the basis of "uninsured/underinsured motorist" or by selling premiums for uninsured motorist coverage at hundreds of dollars a crack per year. . .

I friggin' hate insurance companies with the passion of a million flaming suns. Can't you tell?
