Yeah, I agree with your legislated monopoly point and that injured people deserve compensation, just trying to throw some historical perspective on the issue as most here probably think auto insurance has always been compulsory. In BC I think it was changed about 1970, so not that long ago.
The other point is that a lot of drivers, drive like their are no consequences to their actions or inattention as they are fully insured and safe in their SUVs or whatever.
