Nationalize all insurance.

Which would actually reduce insurance costs since insurance functions by spreading risk out as much as possible.

Also we wouldn’t have to keep forking over extra money so that the insurance company can make profits.

I tell you what would bring premiums down, nationalize healthcare coverage. Car insurance premiums would be cut by two thirds if it didn’t have to cover private healthcare premiums

ironically that’s what greg abbott did

after he benefited from compensation to victims, of course.

Dont even need to ban SUVs, just repeal the CAFE loophole for “non-passenger work vehicles.” Then the car companies will stop shoving them on everyone since they aren’t the most profit per unit anymore.

Hit a family and leave the kids permanently disabled and orphaned, that’s going to cost a bit.

Or who is going to pay for their healthcare if not your insurance?

Actual education with regular rigorous driver testing. Ruthless revocation of driving privileges for violations. Incarceration for serious offense, no outs for the rich. Fines proportionate to income.

That’s it. In 3 years the culture would be completely different.
