Have you ever broken the law?

What the hell makes you say that?

A license and insurance are, basically, when you come down to the basics - peices of paper/card. Nothing more.

They do not affect one's ability to drive at all.

I'm saying this, taking into account your other posts in this thread.

There are many flaws in your post - however, just look at the last line of my post. Considering the kind of stuff that user was commending (Arson and Breaking&Entering amongst other things), it seemed quite odd he threw quite a btich fit over someone driving without a license.

Also, I know people who have driven for years without a license, without any insurance etc. yet never caused or been in an accident. Before you point me to some ******** survey/statistics/research - correalation does not equal causation. So just because uninsured drivers are involed in more accidents, does not mean:
a) that they caused the accident, or
b) it happened BECAUSE they were uninsured.

My other posts include a stupid joke about murder.

Anyone who thinks driving without a licence and insurance is acceptable, is an idiot.

What if you crashed into someone?
No insurance= them suffering needlessly.

Ok. But I was only pointing out that if people don't have a license, it's probably for a reason, and that personally, I think it's just plain dangerous.

I think most people have through stuff like speeding or downloading music for free. If you think about it, something as simple as going 31 in a 30 zone is speeding. Also most teens have drunk alcohol of some sort etc

No it doesn't.

Ever heard of the MIB?... They may take a little longer to payout on average but its the same sometimes when liability is disputed with normal insurance.

Don't get me wrong - I'd much prefer everybody on the road to have a license and to have insurance. But it isn't that serious of a crime to not have one. The only reason the police focus so much on motoring/traffic offences is because:
a) they are easy targets (Lots of techonology nowadays, ANPR/PNC combined = very hard to drive without insurance without having your car compounded).
b) Generate lots of income - almost everything except the most serious driving offences are usually dealt with FPNs nowadays.

The point I am making anyway is that there is no proof whatsoever, as there never can be, as there is no link whatsoever - that having a pink card in your wallet means you are an able driver.

Some of the worst drivers I have seen are passed, insured etc. but they couldn't drive aptly to save their lives.

Right, I didn't know about the MIB (which I assume stands for Men In Black) so I accept that point, but you cannot tell me that the majority of people who drive without a licence are able drivers, the majority will be stupid kids joyriding.

so? this is not america, you can drink from 5 (at home with parents), or 16 with a meal in a pub.

Sorry, I meant underage drinking, I realise this ^
