Genuine accidents do happen

Whatever you pay in insurance is unlikely to cover the damages won by an injured party. That money is coming out of the pockets of people who will never cause an injury.
Good drivers subsidize the assholes.

Rarely.
Most are crashes caused by someone fucking up.
Some are caused by things like medical issues - those would be accidents. Or a rock falling off a hillside into your car, tire blowout, etc.

In other words, not only do you have to pay in case you hit someone, you gave to pay for other people hitting people

True. My way of putting it was imperfect but I guess that’s what makes it a shower thought

The same as healthy people subsidize the sick; or childless people subsidize schools anyway?

I’m okay subsiding the schools though! I don’t want to be surrounded by more idiots then I already am.

No argument there.

In my country, free schools are not an expense, we profit on it.
Whatever money we spend on an education, will on average come back twice in the form of increased income tax. Plus of course the other values of living in a well educated society.
So taking a free education is not society subsidizing you, you are doing society a favor.
