That the free market would determine how a policy is written and how much it costs. The victim could sue for damages just as easily as the insurance company. Also, companies would have the ability to write "no fault" policies if they choose, uninsured motorists if they choose, etc. They could refuse to sell insurance to old people, to handicapped people, to red-headed people, to fat people, to women, or whatever.

I don't agree with requiring insurance. Driving is a right, not a privilige. If someone wants to drive without insurance, let them. Some people simply can't afford it. Shall we add to their burden by not allowing them to go to and from work? Also, as long as insurance becomes mandatory, the insurance industry is safe in overcharging for their services or colluding with other companies.

Better yet, let's get rid of driver's licenses altogether!
