I was involved with an uninsured motorist. She weighd about 225# and drove a 4x4 Full-size Bronco, in 2wd, onto an ice covered highway. Lost control, spun, I swerved left, then right, then left, then she went right across my bow, and I plowed her fat ass into a snowbank. Luckily she was unhurt and so was I. My pickup was wrecked and her frame was bent. She lied to the cops. Provided them with proof of insurance, but, it wasn't valid as she hadn't paid the bill and it was cancelled 8 months prior. Cost me $500 deductable and a surcharge on my insurance. When we found out she was "uninsured" I called the police. They didn't care. It's illegal to not have insurance, but it's apparently OK to provide false proof of insurance. This is all in Maine of course.
We had several suspended license fatalities in the past few years here in the Portland area. Truck driver killed a few kids. His license had been suspended a dozen times and was at that time. Lady pulled a u-turn on 295 and caused a multi-car wreck. She was under suspension. I read about them being stopped every week in the local dispatch notes.
