Rate split Georgia on uninsured drivers
ATLANTA - State officials are much more promising to crack down on the thousands of drivers of Georgia, on roads without automobile insurance.
The industry and government officials say, almost one third of motorists against Georgia by the law of the State was not necessarily linked to the coverage.
“ Motorists driving without insurance increased illegal law-abiding citizens,’’said Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine. “ It’s unjust, it is wrong, and I want a strengthening of laws and solutions to prevent one.”
Oxendine and Public Safety Commissioner Sid Miles announced this week they are in the merger by the Commission to help solve the problem. A State Senate Panel, this is the beginning of research in the same issue.
Among the proposals, which will be considered as rigid penalties for uninsured drivers and the creation of a Department of Public Safety to provide police data up-to-date information on insurance-state offenders.
“ Répressifs does not have the information they need to uninsured drivers on the road,’’said Miles. “ I would like to develop a system that gives us the information necessary for the implementation of law.”
Kevin Curtin of the Alliance of American Insurers said the police did not respect the right of public insurance a high priority, a good reason.
“ They have more important things to do than you and pull-check for insurance,”he said.
He also noted that in the absence of a central database, uninsured drivers, it is possible to use false or stolen identity assurance.
Georgia, motorists are required to provide liability coverage for bodily injury and property damage. A House committee plans to push legislation to increase the obligation of coverage.
During the legislative consultation of the year, Oxendine proposed pays off-duty Cops seize the license plates of uninsured drivers and street.
He said that if the state learns from an insurance company, that motorists are no longer assured, it starts a process that could lead the driver to lose his license.
But the confiscation of a driver’s license does not mean that the motorist was not on the road.
“ I can not remember the last time I had my driving licence to a policeman,’’said Oxendine. “ It could probably drive for years without driving licences and never be caught. But we did not drive very well, if you do not have a day on the back of your vehicle.”
The commissioner said, some countries have already begun the seizure of license plates of uninsured drivers.
Curtin doubt harsher penalties or increasing the compulsory coverage to solve the problem. Indeed, he said the driver may buy more coverage as against-productive.
“ We believe it is price, the market for humans,’’said Curtin. “ For us, it is useful to as many people as possible.”
He added, “ There are a lot of debate throughout the country, if the insurance laws are in force.”
Curtin said, for example, self-insurance is not legally responsible, Ala., or even on the percentage of drivers are uninsured, as in Georgia.
