Many of those people are already driving just without licenses.

But if those people that flee have insurance they’ll still end up being held financially liable and if they have insurance it will cover the damages to the other persons car. This is exactly why it’s better to have everyone licensed and insured

Many people are not driving because of the deterrent effect.

They'll only be liable if they're caught and from my experience there is a good chance they never are.

It’s not much of a deterrent when in many parts of the state you need a car to get anywhere

And it’s better if they are caught for them to have insurance. It’s also easier to catch them if their car is registered. If the car is registered then they’re required to have insurance
