You should already have insurance; should,nt be on theroad without it; no-one should.

Law should be brought in to make it compulsory for all motorists vehicles to have at least a minimum of 3rd party insurance, it's long overdue and going to get even longer. Come on GOVT get off your arses and get proactive on this one.

For the love of christ. This has been bashed to death. You WANT full cover against uninsured motorists then get freaking full cover! There is no free picnic, you can't be covered against everything without paying, if you don't want the risk of an uninsured moron hitting you then get full cover. It's that simple.
Stop whining about it.

You still need insurance IF something goes wrong.

I disagree. Nobody 'needs' insurance. Many feel the need to have it simply because they've be conditioned to believe that. The fact of the matter is that if the premiums didn't outweigh the risk by some margin, insurance companies would constantly go broke.
If you're saving money by having insurance, maybe you should be looking at the risks you take. I certainly don't wish to subsidise others.

then the police should have there cars insured and other government cars. i laughed at a cop when he tried to tell me i should not be on the road without insurance. i said to him then you should be off the road to.

Government cars do have cover unless it has changed in the past year since I got a job in the real world. There is some tie up with insurance companies acting for the crown who have a self insurance scheme. They cover crown cars and any unfortunate third party should the crown driver be at fault.

so who pays if your car is burnt out or stolen!

If you get hit by an uninsured driver with no money, and your car is written off you'll be feeling pretty good about those dollars you saved.

As Ive said in other threads, ive had two vehicles, one stolen and burnt and one written off while I was nowhere near them. Im glad I took the RISK of having insurance both times. I guess some people even have the ability to stop others actions while not even being in the vehicles presence, very clever that, kinda superhuman. Unless you drive a $300 car then it wouldnt really matter, untill you hit a new XYZ. But some have so much money it dosnt mater I guess.

It's going to be interesting to see if there has been any change at all of the rate of intersection crashes, somehow I doubt it. If it stays the same or even drops it kind of proves how stupid the old rule was IMO.
