What if you hit an uninsured driver? The odds are slimmer in NJ
Auto insurance coverage is mandatory in nearly every state, but in many spots, the rate of uninsured drivers is higher than 20%.
Rule-breaking related to coverage is apparently not as commonplace in the Garden State. Just 3.1% of New Jersey drivers were uninsured in 2019, according to data released by the Insurance Research Council. That s the lowest rate in the nation, and the lowest rate for New Jersey in decades. Uninsured drivers increase the cost of insurance for those who comply with their state s insurance requirements, and that s not fair, said David Corum, IRC vice president. Keeping auto insurance affordable is more difficult when a significant number of drivers refuse to carry their fair share of the costs.

BISMARCK, N.D. A bar owner in Willow City has been trying to raise funds for a civil suit against the state of North Dakota for coronavirus-related business restrictions that he says drove him out of business.
North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum announced on statewide restrictions on business and restaurant capacities back in November, when North Dakota was seeing a severe spike, and hospitalizations rose above 300 for more than a week. David Corum, owner of Gunslingers Bar, says that his civil complaint would include arguments against such executive orders in the future.
While North Dakota has not been impacted by the pandemic-related shutdowns/ lockdowns to the extent that other states (

I am empathetic to those whose lives have been impacted by Coronavirus, but the fact that the government has been

WILLOW CITY – David Corum, whose Willow City bar was impacted by a pandemic closure order last spring, said he hopes to file a civil rights complaint in federal court.
Northeast District Judge Anthony Swain Benson ruled Jan. 6 that Corum violated Gov. Doug Burgum’s March 19 executive order that temporarily closed bars and restaurants due to COVID-19. The Bottineau County Sheriff’s Office issued infraction citations five times to Corum’s Gunslingers Grill during the time period in which bars were required to be closed. Corum had argued he had given up his liquor license and was conducting private events at which people donated toward alcohol expenses.
