That's why at least in the US by *regulation* you must have insurance to be able to operate a car, instead of mitigating the safety issues that represents a teenager texting while driving we deal with the consequences.
The insurance requirement is a state-by-state thing. It was only added here a few years ago, and I don't think it is universal.
Similar answer as the one for the brakes and tires thing. Implementation may vary from state to state, just like the mechanical standards thing. When last I lived in California, there was no "insurance" requirement but there was a "proof of financial responsibility" requirement that was most easily (for most people) by carrying insurance to certain standards for Public Liability and Property Damage. -- Somebody should have said: A democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner.
