Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

That's quite the coincidence.....
In many states, driving a vehicle uninsured is a crime. They're admitting they've been committing this crime for quite awhile?
Also, most people driving buses require a CDL (Commercial Drivers License). Is this one of those vehicles? Do they have the proper license?
Its a good thing their candidate supports a strong social safety net, so they can still know their basic needs are taken car of, right? Right?!
So they're supporters of Socialism now? Where are their bootstraps in times like this?
Fully insured. They likely had liability but couldn't get full coverage, which is perfectly legal.
It's hard for me not to go off on speculation like this. Bunch of random assumptions for no reason. You can look up the requirements. For my state it's a weight/passenger limit.
The mandatory insurance tends to be liability insurance, for injuries. Insurance may not be mandatory on the cost of the vehicle itself. It would not surprise me if their insurer didn't want to write a collision policy until some time had passed. (Particularly since they also seem to be living in it, I'm sure that has an affect on insurance.)
It's not out of the realm of possibility that one of them had a CDL, there are all sorts of jobs that require them and the company would pay for the training. Heck, my local school district is always trying to find more bus drivers, they would pay for the CDL if you agreed to drive a bus full of snotnosed middle schoolers every day
RVs do not require a CDL and this bus was being used as one. CDLs are required, generally, when hauling more than 15 passengers or using a heavy vehicle for commercial purposes.
They were transporting and selling merchandise out of it. I bet they wrote its expenses off their taxes. Sounds commercial to me.

In many states (mine included), you don't technically need insurance. You have to show proof of financial responsibility, and that only has to meet some surprisingly low standards. IIRC, you only have to prove you can pay for $7,500 in damages. Or if you meet certain other criteria, you can self-insure.
