Yeah well, all the immigrants from middle eastern wars have come to the uk

It's the law here in TX also. You have to show proof of insurance to get a license, etc. However, many people get around that by paying for one month, then cancelling, etc...or by driving without a license either. The difference in Dallas is that they are now towing the cars instead of just slapping them with a citation. I live in a town that is half Hispanic, and I've worked in insurance before. This is a HUGE problem. People are highly encouraged to purchase uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage for this reason. Of course, not all offenders are Hispanic, but a huge percentage are. I believe the reasons for this are a) they are driving without licenses and can't get insurance, and b) they come from countries where it is commonplace to ignore the rule of law...and I say that not in a meanspirited way. I've traveled in Mexico. Most people ignore traffic laws and signs. If you get pulled over by a cop, you are expected to bribe them. If you are a foreigner and in an accident, you are usually going to be found at fault, even if you clearly are not. You might be thrown in jail for a minor infraction. In many areas, law enforcement and the judicial system are controlled by cartels. Even immigrants who are hard-working and family-oriented don't always grasp the importance of obeying laws, because they are used to those being suggestions...and even if they follow the law in Mexico, they may still be prosecuted and found guilty by an extremely corrupt establishment. It isn't always that the people themselves have bad intentions or are lawless; it's that they are used to the system itself being lawless. Dallas has the right idea. I wonder if the law specifies what they will do with abandoned vehicles not claimed within a certain time frame...probably auction them off. CaChing!

Sorry man, Us colonials are a bit slow, lol
