Are we talking about the same insurance companies who have no problem insuring some pimple faced kid in his teens on a 200 MPH superbike without a helmet?

If a car breaks in half due to poor construction, isn't that more of a case of product liability?
The manuafcturers are not having a problem insuring themselves (self insured or otherwise) we are talking about OUR ability to secure insurance so we can drive them.

If the multi million dollar settlemet was as a result of some home builders poor welding skills, why do I have to suffer with a factory built car when I go looking for reasonable insurance just to drive mine around?

If my frame broke in half, I think the manufacturer could or should indemnify my insurance company against any liabilties caused as a result of their poor construction.
