That's why mandatory auto liability insurance is ultimately a redistribution scheme. No matter how you look at it, you are being forced to pay for someone else's accidents - especially if you are good driver and never have any chargeable accidents. It's just another unholy alliance between government and big business, forcing you to pay for something you may not want or need.
