[quote:Éireann:MV8xODA4ODg3XzMwMDk5NDcyXzg3Nzg0QjBB] Here's what pisses me off about car insurance. Before there was such a mandate in the US which forced Americans to buy a product (which is unconstitutional), once an accident was ruled to be the fault of X driver, that driver was responsible for damages - his and theirs. In the event of an unforeseen accident - like sliding on ice - the view was that it's your own damn fault for driving in such conditions. What ever happened to be individually responsible? [/quote]

A new plan from the British government will use closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras at gas stations that will automatically prevent uninsured drivers from filling up their gas tanks—that is, until their vehicle information has been logged in the system.
"The key to this is simplicity. Connecting the existing technology ... is relatively inexpensive and wouldn't be a big information technology program" Ernst & Young partner Graeme Swan told the Telegraph.
"There shouldn't be concerns about 'big brother' because there is no new database, no vehicles are tracked and no record is kept.
It's simply a new rule of no insurance equals no fuel."
Im sure there not tracked or annyyything...wow
