The only parts of my post that were directly pointed at you were pointing out the obvious, which, the police apparantly agreed with. Like I said, hopefully you get your car fixed and everything works out. (Take that as an attack if you want, whatever.)


Do I feel sorry for people in that position? Yeah totally. But if I got hit by someone and was seriously injured or my car was completely wrecked, I would be pissed beyond belief and not likely forgive them for a good long time. If I then found out they were driving without insurance, I would be furious beyond belief.
I'd be pretty furious as well, however, if it was my fault, I couldn't hold a grudge. Yes, I'd be pissed for awhile, but it would soon abate, considering that it were my own fault.
I personally do the same thing this guy did, I sit in the intersection and wait until I can go (I wait until the light turns), however, after seeing this mess, I think I can spare a few minutes and wait for the next light. Learn from the mistake of another. Even if it does get charged as someone else's fault, that's still a trauma that I don't wish to put my son through, nor can I afford to have my car sitting in the garage for a week or longer.


As far as being able to afford insurance, even though I'm no longer in that situation, I simply cannot agree. Yes, everyone SHOULD have insurance, but, when people don't have enough food to feed themselves and their children, I cannot fathom demanding them to send several hundred per year to some big-name company that is rolling in dough. Life is an injustice, and I know that there's nothing that I can do to change it or to help those in need. Too bad the filthy rich don't feel the same way.
