12. I am NOT required by law to buy FULL coverage car insurance.
I am only required to have liability insurance for property I may destroy or medical harm I may cause while driving.

Understand the difference now?

13. If it means they can't force you to stay on the tarmac for 12 hrs w/no food, water, or bathrooms
I'm all for it.
