Houston encourages lawlessness

Somebody smashed my car today, and will not incur any costs or consequences.

He had no insurance, was parked illegally in a handicapped area – and parked sideways in it. He drove out of the spot sideways without looking and smashed into my car. Of course he's driving a huge truck so he had no damage.

The police came and made a report – he received no citation for anything.

Now I will have a massive increase in my insurance. I will get penalized for doing the right things. I'll be out the money for my deductible and my car will take weeks to be repaired.

This irresponsible **** will walk away scot free from wrecking my car. Not a single consequence. Not one penny spent.

What is the point of following the rules when it means I'm penalized, while the people who break all the laws just carry on?

How can the social contract do anything but break down when the law itself encourages lawlessness?
