[QUOTE="MCRIDER007, post: 1418024, member: 329"] I have never understood why Washington motorcyclists were exempt since motorcyclists are certainly capable of being the cause of extensive injury and property damage and I have always carried high liability limits on my motorcycles. However the most important insurance a motorcyclist can carry is Underinsured Motor Vehicle which essentially is insurance to protect yourself against assholes who do not carry insurance on their vehicles and that insurance is much more expensive than the liability insurance I carry on my motorcycles to cover the damage I might be responsible for. If everyone actually had adequate insurance like the law and common sense dictates, the cost of that insurance would be much less for motorcyclists than it is now since the expensive Underinsured Motor Vehicle (in theory) wouldn’t be required. Requiring motorcyclists to carry liability insurance probably will not have much impact on the cost of Underinsured coverage but it’s a small step in the right direction of actually requiring all licensed vehicles to have insurance.
