Texas Size Solution.

Don't know if this is true or not, but if it isn't it should be!


The City of Dallas, Texas passed an ordinance stating that if a driver is pulled over by law enforcement and is not able to provide proof of insurance, the car is towed.  To retrieve the car after being impounded, they must show proof of insurance to have the car released.  This has made it easy for the City of Dallas to remove uninsured cars.  Shortly after the "No Insurance" ordinance was passed, Dallas impound lots began to fill up and were full after only nine days.  Over 80% of the impounded cars were driven by illegal’s.  Now, not only must they provide proof of insurance to have their car released, they have to pay for the cost of the tow, a $350 fine, and $20 for every day their car is kept in the lot.  Guess what?  Accident rates have gone down 47% and . . . Dallas' solution gets uninsured drivers off the road WITHOUT making them show proof of nationality. 

I wonder how the ACLU or the Justice Department will get around this one.  Just brings tears to your eyes doesn't it?

GO Dallas!

John,

This new ordinance clearly targets 'Uninsured Motorists' and must be shut down immediately.  Think how much people's insurance rates would be lowered if there are fewer accidents and drivers.  This must not be allowed to happen.  So please support the opposition (probably let by someone in the white house) to eliminate the possibility of working people being allowed to get something at a lower rate while the "free stuff" people would have to pay.

Out here vehicles insurance is a must, as it is in all states - I think.  What is ironic is that we are also required to carry uninsured motorist insurance.  Just doesn't make good sense to me.
