Hell, why insist that anyone in a profession be licensed, or that there be standards for anything. The "licensing" of drivers is a joke. What does proving that you could parallel park a car when you were 16 have to do with your ability at 80? Titling of cars gets pretty silly when the car gets old. Boats are even sillier. I can understand that if you have $200,000 boat, it might make sense to track ownership somehow. When it is a 12' jon boat, maybe worth $200 it is just stupid. The same thing is true of a 10 year old car. I have said this before and I will repeat it. The whole process should be handled by the insurance companies who have all of the skin in the game and the computer systems to handle the processes nation wide. If insurance companies issued tags and owned them, uninsured motorists would quickly become a thing of the past. Bad drivers would be identified and revoked quicker too. You wouldn't have people walking around with licenses from 2 or 3 states. The police would still have the same computer access they have now and the databases would have a better chance of being right. Please, enough silly libertarianism for one day, eh? Why don't you debate the points? Why shouldn't "DMV" functions be managed by insurance companies? They are the ones with the skin in the game. They pay out the claims for bad drivers and the claims for stolen cars. What else is there? They have already demonstrated that they can track these things better than 51 state governments (including DC) I'm sure the insurance companies would handle that about as well as they have handled health care insurance, as in screw over everyone with exorbitant fees and denial of services. That is a different issue totally. Have you had huge problems with the process at your auto insurer? Bear in mind they maintain most of this data anyway. Insurance companies probably have better tracking of driver records than 51 DMVs, certainly better than the worst. I know for a fact, DC and Maryland had a ****ing match over turf for decades (maybe still) and when I was "revoked" in DC, Maryland never even heard about it. Because Maryland DMV didn't have it Geico never knew either. If the DC cops had reported directly to the insurance company I would have been busted. BTW it was 88 in a 45 on Kennilworth ave for the curious. I was young ;-) |

What is insurance? Sharing of risk. Why should an insurance company issue insurance to someone when they are sick? Can you get fire insurance for your house after it burns? |
