Well, this sure opens a can of worms
So, you're in favor of a "stupidity tax", just think of the ramification of that... Once you open the door to punishing stupidly, think about the next time you decide to venture out onto the highways in snow, freezing rain, ice or any other condition other ideal and something happens. Could this be construed as stupid idea and since you think its okay for the state to punish you for it, will your insurance have to compensate you now.
Smart people do stupid things all the time. Do you think that guy with the brand new truck with the plow on it that went down in 19-mile bay said to himself? I think I'll just drive this puppy across the lake, what's the worst that can happen? I'm betting, this guy wasn't stupid and the thought never crossed this mind until it was to late. I'm sure he's being punished enough as we speak both financially and mentally without the state's help.
Why did I get out of the recovery business? Well basically, I was never really in it, I was just doing it to help the Tom and the boys out, I told them to keep the money they needed it more then me. I live to far from the lake and the winter is my busy season (I'm in the heating business). Now, it's for health reasons, I can't be in those cold conditions anymore.
