You're wrong. We don't force anyone to patronize private business. The government runs the driving insurance here, in Manitoba it is called MPIC (Manitoba Public Insurance Corp). If you own a vehicle and want to drive it
you must be insured, period.
There are hundreds of privately owned insurance agents here, but when it comes to the part of their business that deals with insuring drivers ALL of them work under the umbrella of the provincially owned insurance corp.
You may have a better system in your country, I don't know, but ours is in some ways pretty good. In some ways, like a lot of other places, it sucks balls.
