I'm sure a kid probably would, and then when he gets in a wreck, he

If he "gets in a wreck" there is car insurance to cover medical
expenses. Again you are drifting.

How is he supposed to afford the insurance if he spends the money on
the car? Keep trying to put me down by claiming a bunch of nonsense.
It's not helping your cause.

Which state lets you drive without insurance? It sure isn't the ones
we live in.

I'll bet there are a lot of uninsured Mexicans driving their wrecks in
Florida, Texas, Arizona, And The People's Republic of Kalifonia. Can't get
rid of em either. Washington will come down hard on anyone who tries.

That is really getting a lot harder to do here. The cops have lap tops
in their cars, insurance coverage is available in real time and that
is probable cause for a stop, a ticket and that immigration check
everyone on the left is so ****ed about. Driving a junker without
insurance is the express lane to Krome Avenue (the ICE detention
center)

I'm just wondering... if an illegal and perhaps illiterate (in
English) Mexican can buy a car and not have insurance, why would it be
difficult for a presumably English speaking/reading teen to do the
same thing?

Why do you presume that the police are going to be randomly stopping
teens to get them to prove they have said insurance?

So, basically the kid will spend the money and buy the car, and not
get any insurance unless forced to by a parent, or he'll just get in a
wreck at some point. If we're LUCKY he'll get stopped, but even not
having insurance is just a fine/fix-it-like ticket, so they don't take
away the car on the spot.
