What was the process like for people who crashed their cars in the USSR? State-run insurance? No insurance? (lemmy.ml)

The premise is "how did the Soviet Union handle the concept of car insurance?"

And as it happens, they had a state-run (and monopolistic) plan like OP suggested.

No idea if it was any good though.

The question feels less suited to a forum for socialism generally than for Soviet history.

Ultimately, the insurance may be organized by a company, a state, or a cooperative. Socialists of course are united in being most opposed to the first.

I hope people here found the question interesting, however I see how my question could better suit a history community.
