i personally think that compensation claims should come out to pocket of the offender, then maybe people will think twice instead of oohh well the insurance will pay for it.

I think you're being a tad optimistic if you think all car drivers will learn to look before moving..... It's generally far more effective if you yourself learn not to assume they won't look and avoid being in the firing line, or at least not having an alternative option available to you.
I also think it's a bit unrealistic to expect every car driver to have the means to compensate for some of their more serious misdemeanours, although I'm inclined to agree they should be in a bit more jeopardy than they currently seem to be. Invariably they do end up paying in one way or another through increased premiums, which often unfortunately extends to the rest of us, hence my annoyance at this compensation culture.
