I was 24, worked for an appliance store. I was heading up Central Ave in the work van in the one way, left lane. A women crossed over from the right lane through my lane to make a left turn and struck me. She obviously was not used to driving in a one way. She looked at me and then sped off. She was hispanic. I tried to chase her but the van was very crippled. I never caught her.

I was 35, worked for a large corporation. I was driving down US 400 when a woman pulled out into oncoming traffic. I struck her and totaled both vehicles. She was an illegal alien with no insurance, no setbelt and no drivers license. She had a baby in the back that was not buckled in. The baby was thrown clear and was not seriously injured. The woman had a broken arm and a broken pinky finger. She unsuccessfully tried to sue our company. Our company counter sued and got a judgement but have never received a dime. She disappeared from the face of the earth- became somebody new maybe?

Is it fair that I HAVE TO PAY for insurance that will cover ME AND THEM and they don't pay a dime? NO, it's not.

Is it fair to use the "We need a SSN" excuse? Not when you get forged documents to work but wont use them to get insurance. While you may need a SSN to get a drvers license, I don't remember them asking for it to get insurance.

Regardless, if you can't drive legally and bear the burden of risk, then don't drive. If you don't like our laws, the laws that protect us, then get the hell out.

Sheeeeesh you need to stay away from them crazy women drivers lol j/k I couldn't imagine going through all that crap, I'm going crazy enough w/ my car still not being fixed when that a-hole backed into me!!!

I definatley agree with your last 3 statements as well!! well said

Email the commissioners....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
After thinking about this some more, isn't it saying by not writing, that you have no problem with the illegal drivers? By writing them they will know how you feel and that something needs to be done about the problem.

Good point Bubba....I will put it on my list of things to do. I do send a lot emails and do a lot of phone calls when things are jacked up but with private industry where the dollar speaks things usually get fixed if you voice your issues. With the local gov't I voice my issues with my VOTE. They can't ignore that.

I am very choosy about the things I GAF about. Trying to make the place I live (for now) a better place to live, is one of them.

Here is the response from Terry Lee...

good to hear from you. You are not the only one to write with this suggestion. I read the article and find it to be most enlightening. I would have no problem supporting this as a local ordinance. Also, people writing to the other commissioners would also help, I do believe. Thanks for getting involved.
Terry
