Wow! I had no idea you had to pay a 1K surcharge to get auto insurance. What a rip-off! Personally, I don't care how much this surcharge and they can raise it to 1 million dollars if they want. I'm car free for life. Period

It's amazing how the "System" keeps people driving the rest of their lives through fear. Why would anyone want to associate themselves with such an organization is beyond me. The motorist is contantly being abused with a host of tickets and fines just to extract more and more money, and now this! Incredible.

I hope Prop 17 does pass because the outcome in the long run will work to keep people carfree much longer. With thousands of Calfornians out of work or falling below the poverty level, many will not be able to keep their autos let alone expensive and unnecessary insurance. These poor individuals will look at temporary car freedom as a way to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads. When the time does come around when they can afford an auto, the insane insurance premiums will keep them carfree for months or years. Hopefully for life.
