Erm... You have little room to talk, Alky.
When did you run that guy over in the OP? I don't recall reading about that, yet. I'm curious why your ins co would pay out on an obvious setup?
Lol, chances are a guy that has to pay for something like a new FJ Cruiser with cash is living in one.
Records show that Ramirez-James appeared in court in 2006 for having an improper driver license that was expired for more than 4 months.
In 2009, he was also caught driving without a license.

They blantantly break the law while already breaking the law thinking they are beyond the rules. There is a whole house of these types right down the street with every license plate already expired on the same month 2 years ago.
These same people blow through the stop signs in the neighborhood and approach 55-60mph driving down our 15mph roads. I was burying cats and racoons alot a few years ago but now I stepped up my food efforts and they mostly stick to the wooded area and school behind my property.
I was set up a couple years ago to hit a dude that is still driving to this day without a license or insurance. The courts have him listed as indigent even and he skips is $20 payment plan.
He tried to sue me for $1,000,000. Then $300,000...then my insurance company threw him a check for $10k and he was gone.
Ask your white trash country men to stop hiring illegals - then they will stop entering the US looking for work.
I work at home so I hear landscapers left, right, front and back all damn day during the summer & fall. A lot are elderly who can't do their own lawn. Would non-illegals work for the prices they are paid? There-in lies the problem.
When we did this house, the masonry guy hired 2 illegals to help him lay the brick. It's not a skill job other than being told what to do - would non-illegals settle for little pay so the mason can keep prices down for his customers? Hell, I didn't even know he was going to do that.

i grew up in the 80's and back then all the white people were drinking and driving all the time. until MADD lobbied for laws against it.
and i see legal residents run stop signs and red lights all the time as well. in fact in NYC the people who drive for a living are the worst offenders
California deals with the same shit daily.
The illegals come here, ignore our laws...break them with impunity, then run back to Mexico.
Everything from car accidents with no insurance to murder...
We have a strong Mexican gang presence here...many of whom are illegal immigrants.
In reality MADD had broken away from wanting to save lives and wanting to promote it's lobby.
Even it's founder is against what they have become. The original group was never about stopping adults from having a few drinks and driving home...they were about those that get 'drunk'.
It's an incredible revenue generator at about $5k a pop.

true now but back then it was a bigger problem than today and people would get a traffic citation or a few weeks in jail for driving drunk and killing someone
FL insurance co's are required to do the same, I let my insurance lapse for a week once ( I forgot the renewal date) and got a letter from the DMV stating that if I don't call them or use their website to give them my ins. info my license will be suspended. Problem is people will plunk down their initial payment to get the ins but not make any further payments then just drive with a suspended license while sometimes stealing the decal off another plate to avoid getting pulled over.
It was two years ago and mentioned here.
Insurance settles because it's cheaper...it's a racket down here.

Which, I think is foolish on the part of the insurance companies. It's cheaper on an individual case basis; the problem is (and this is just my speculation), people see others getting away with it, realize that the insurance company isn't going to fight them, and just abuse it to get the free money. I feel that not fighting the little cases has resulted in an increase in the number of little cases. 10k here, 10k there, what's the big deal? They just raise everyone's insurance rates accordingly and still make a nice profit.
LOL, what a friendly state who doesn't really mind too horribly if you let your insurance lapse. In NY, first time, even if it's for 24 hours, you have to pay a fine. That's NY being nice. 2nd time, they're not nice. Your registration is revoked. Turn in your plates, period. Pay fine, and have to wait x-number of days before being able to re-register your vehicle. And, the longer it takes you to take those plates to the DMV, the longer you go without plates.

That's something I could never figure out - why the hell do you guys put them on your license plate where they can be peeled off by someone. Ours go on the inside of the windshield. Attempting to peel them off destroys them. And, it's not a matter of stealing just decals - you'd need the entire plate. (In NY, two plates.) If you don't turn in the plates, before long, your license is suspended. You're looking at *thousands* of dollars in fines. There are reasons why some states have estimated less than 5% of cars on the road without insurance while other states have 20% or more. And, don't the plates follow the car in Florida? i.e. In NY, when a vehicle is sold, it is NOT sold with the previous license plates. If you sell the car, you take the plates off. There's no way in the world that you're getting a big 3" square special colored inspection sticker for your windshield, or the even bigger registration sticker for your windshield color coded with great big numbers of the month it expires. People who let those things expire are a cash cow for the state; then again, that's why WE don't have those problems and you guys DO.Let me explain a little more, these people would not care if it was suspended the next day, they'll just keep driving, it's the way it is around here, bring in your plate? that's a LOL for FL, few would do it, just keep stealing the decals off others plates and keep driving!..
This is a drunk driving problem, not an illegal problem. If it really upsets you, you might could join an organization against drunk driving.
