Reply #94: Not expensive?

[Lydia Leftcoast]

I'm in a low risk category and don't drive much and have an old car, and even my payments could seem like a luxury to someone who was making $8 an hour.

You don't know his situation. He may have other unavoidable expenses that are more important.

The real shame in this country is that driving is practically mandatory, whether you can afford it or not. If we had the type of public transportation that most civilized countries have, including frequently running rural bus systems, there wouldn't be so many uninsured drivers on the road.
