PROPOSITION 213 WILL FIX A SYSTEM THAT
It's AGAINST THE LAW TO DRIVE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL OR
DRUGS in California. In most cases it's also against the law to drive without insurance.
Unfortunately, thousands of people ignore these laws and get rewarded for it. Drunk
drivers and uninsured motorists can sue law-abiding citizens for huge monetary awards in addition
to being compensated for medical and other expenses.
These huge awards cost Californians who play by the rules and obey the law $327 million every
year! That's not fair!
Proposition 213 will prevent drunk drivers, convicted felons and uninsured motorists from
collecting these huge monetary awards, while still protecting their right to be compensated
for medical and out-of-pocket expenses. That is fair.
Further, if Proposition 213 becomes law, convicted felons would be prohibited from
collecting any damages if they're accidentally injured while fleeing from their crime.
PROPOSITION 213 SAYS PEOPLE WHO BREAK
Law-abiding citizens already pay higher insurance premiums to cover uninsured motorists.
Law-abiding citizens should not be punished for living responsibly! The system
needs to be fixed. Illegal behavior shouldn't be rewarded. People who break the law must be held
accountable for their actions.
PROPOSITION 213 SAYS DRUNK DRIVERS WHO INJURE
Drunk drivers in California cost all of us in terms of lost lives, serious injuries to family
members and friends and higher insurance premiums.
PROPOSITION 213 SAYS CONVICTED FELONS SHOULD
Proposition 213 takes the ''profit" out of crime by closing a legal loophole that allows
convicted felons to sue law-abiding citizens, businesses and governments to pay for ''accidental
injuries" incurred while running from their crime.
PROPOSITION 213 SAYS NO TO UNINSURED
On average, nearly 30% of all drivers on the road in California are uninsured.
In some parts of California, the percent of uninsured drivers is as high as 93%.
Proposition 213 will stop uninsured motorists from being rewarded for breaking the law, while
still covering medical and out-of-pocket expenses.
