I can't agree with this. Although I'm sure there's the exception, It's hard to imagine people even subconsciously choosing to text and drive because they have insurance.

For some it's a lack of fear because they've never been burned. Many also don't care to be considerate of other drivers. Then there are those that don't care about anything or anyone, including themselves. I'm sure there are specifics to every case.

Maybe if the consequences are truly severe. Such as loosing your car and having it sold and the money donated to charity.

I see your point but the consequences I'm referring to aren't necessarily related to any type of choice conscious or not. I'm also not suggesting that consequences be artificially imposed over and above the actual costs of damages caused to anyone's own property and body.

I'm just saying that the current level of insurance available to drivers equates to society collectively agreeing to relieve drivers from a great deal of the responsibility of the driving. Now that same society is seeking to criminalize irresponsible drivers rather than seeking insurance reform.
