Gas Tax to Pay for Car Insurance

I am living proof that we need to quickly adopt pay-at-the-pump, private, no-fault auto insurance and to get rid of an unproductive system that rewards greedy doctors and lawyers, costs an arm and a leg and buries everyone in paperwork.

I was involved in a two-car accident a year and a half ago, and the other driver, more than a year after the accident, decided to get a bunch of expensive surgery and come after me for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Meanwhile, I pay what amounts to a private school tuition annually for insurance, despite having a relatively unblemished driving record and an inexpensive, fuel-thrifty car.

Consequently, the idea of a system that relieves us of lawsuits, insurance hucksters and uninsured motorists while reducing costs and encouraging fuel conservation is most appealing.
