The biggest thing with auto insurance isn't covering your car, it's covering the cost of whatever you hit sueing you.

Your car may only be worth $3,000, but if you hit a pedestrian and they require a dozen surgeries and are wheelchair bound for life, you bet you're ass you're getting sued for a few million in medical costs.

In a reasonable country, those medical costs would be free, but since they're not you need some sort of protection against once accident bankrupting you in civil suits.

Why is car insurance so expensive in all the other countries then?
