In principle, the state has an interest in ensuring that as many people as possible make provisions for old age. Because one thing is certain: the statutory pension will only be sufficient in the fewest cases.

The motor vehicle liability insurance cannot take effect here, because nature, animals and weather are now once not liable, and there are therefore the comprehensive insurances. Exceptions are man-made losses and damages where the responsible person cannot be found, for example in case of theft or hit-and-run accidents.

But what exactly matters?
