To the editor:

As a local insurance agent, I am frustrated at the amount of claims I have filed for my clients that have been hit by people driving with no insurance and in many cases, no license. It baffles me how the local laws work. It was my understanding that if you are in a uninsured accident, your car is to be impounded on the spot. This is not happening in The Dalles. Cars are allowed to drive away from the scene.
