Here we have a group of people here illegally, with no insurance (expensive), no legal tag (expensive), driving a car of doubtful origins, perhaps DUI, no legal address, etc. We expect them to pass a test and get a license? That would seem to me to be contrary to their best interests.

Because of general public apathy the unregistered, uninsured, unlicensed, driver especially if he/she is also illegal can just split in case of accident. This is working very well for them why would they stop?
just one minor correction ... we the people who represent the public are not apathetic, as is evidenced by the great whacking volume of traffic within this thread.
We care .. we care a lot... When given the chance we speak. The frustrating part is that no matter how loudly we do speak ... those who could, and should act, refuse to listen.
