Re: [Chrysler300] Collector Car Insurance

["Roger Schaaf" <obiwan10@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Seems to me that any small loss of privacy(also chances are that any
information that you think is secret is already well known to anyone who may
be interested) to further the aim of getting the uninsured miscreants off
the road is worth it.  California has somewhat the same laws on registration
and insurance but there is a cottage industry of insurance companies selling
a policy, the auto owner registers his vehicle and then allows insurance to
lapse.  I guess that no one has figured out in this day of computers and
networks how to set up a system so that when one loses his insurance, the
state's database cannot be set up to invalidate the registration of a
vehicle.  Sounds like a good idea to me, but California's government is not
known for good ideas.  I would carry it one step further and impound and
sell any vehicle which is found to be on our streets without insurance, but
again I guess this would logical.  Also the minimum liability insurance in
our state(and probably yours) is way too low.  Many states are like
15,000--30,000--5,000 which pays not even close to what any serious accident
can cost a victim.  By the way the 5,000 is for property damage.  How many
totaled automobiles can be replaced for 5,000?  I ride motorcycles.  How far
will 15,000 go toward putting me back together?  It is for this reason that
I carry extremely large coverage's on my motorcycles and cars--1 million
dollar liability which allows me to have 250,000 uninsured/under motorists.
And of course in our great state we have a couple of million illegal aliens
on our streets many of whom have no drivers license's, no insurance, and
driving vehicles with the handling characteristics of a Wells Fargo
stagecoach and driving skills to match.  But as is so often the case in
California, draconian laws to enforce insurance requirements is looked as
just another method to trounce on the rights of the downtrodden.  To hell
with those who are the victims of these miscreants.

Subject: [Chrysler300] Collector Car Insurance



Group,
1.  I don't wish to restart the lengthy discussion we had on collector car
insurance from months ago.  I have a different tack to take on the subject.
2.  I have had Condon and Skelly for quite a few years.  This year as a
condition of renewal, they are requiring that I provide a copy of the
registration of each insured vehicle so they can contact my state, Illinois,
in a timely manner to appraise the state of my insured status.  Should I
have insured vehicles that are not licensed for use on the road, I am to
provide a copy of the Title for the same purpose.
3.  Now, Illinois, being fed up with all the uninsured drivers despite law
requiring liability insurance, has a new law effective 1 Jan 05 that you
must present proof of insurance when you register or renew registration.
4.  Is Condon and Skelly being overly cautious?  Is there a danger in having
this information "out there" and likely in an automated database?  I do know
that when I was stationed in Germany in the latter 70's the Secretary of
State's office sent someone to verify that my previously licensed auto,
which was not renewed and the plates were off, battery pulled, etc., was
indeed "non-operational" since I didn't have a record with them of liability
insurance.  Dad had to take them to the storage facility and unlock it to
show them the car--which was inspected at length.
5.  I get goosey when folks start asking for information, which includes
personal details, and will likely store such on automated data bases with so
so security.  Does anyone know if this is the demands of the industry now???
Thanks,
