Except if you do have a car and get caught driving without auto insurance you DO pay a steep fine.
But that's not even true. You can drive a car all day long on private property without insurance.
Except if your house catches fire and it is determined that the smoke detector was purposely disabled, the insurance company won't pay the claim and you can be held liable for destruction of property (at the least) or reckless endangerment (at the most).
Insurance is not the government. You are talking about the condition of a contract, not the law.
You're right, but just as the burden of not having insurance is passed on to those who do have insurance, such is the case when the person who jury-rigged his electrical outlets passes on that risk and financial burden onto the new homeowner. (Or course, the counter-argument would be "have a home inspection performed" except home inspections DON'T look at wall sockets; they only gauge the condition and functionality of the electrical circuit breaker box.)
Well, you are wrong about the home inspection. Most home inspectors do test the outlets for ground. However, when an individual buys a home, they buy it as is and all defects are not the responsibility of any previous owner.
Wild analogy here since only a handful of people go on to become commercial (or private) aircraft pilots. You're really grasping at straws on this one.
Duece was grasping at straws buy telling us everyone has to have pilot's certificate. I'm just illustrating the absurd by being absurd.
