Mandatory Auto Insurance is a scheme where you are told by the government how to spend your money. If you don't comply, they level an even more outrageous punishment against you, up to and including, having the state confiscate your car! For instance, according to the North Carolina Department of Insurance, over 20% of drivers in that state do not carry the mandated insurance. This immediately makes criminals of these people, since they cannot renew their drivers licenses, and their cars can be confiscated on the spot if they are ever stopped by a cop. This is completely unconstitutional.
Mandatory car insurance is just one more bar in the tyranny prison that most Americans accept as part of their everyday lives. It becomes a stronger bar when you look at how it interacts with driving laws.

The stated goal is to reduce congestion and pollution. What actually happens is that by making automobile ownership expensive, people with less money to waste can't afford autos. So many people are forced to use the hopelessly limited mass transit system, limiting their ability to travel, and their freedoms. And that is just fine with us, here in the United States of Self Delusion. This legalized extortion must end. We must all work together to abolish the scourge of mandatory auto insurance. And on that day, people will truly be treated as adults who are capable of making their own decisions. In a country that is SUPPOSED TO BE FREE, we must learn to live without an intrusive and corrupt government telling us how to spend our money, or live our lives.
