Tax break for required auto insurance?

This has been bugging me–in Calfornia we are required by state law to have auto insurance and we have to purchase it from private companies.
Since the state requires this I think we should be able to deduct the amount of the premiums from our taxable income on our state tax returns.
Does this make sense to anyone else? Serious answers only please–
Thanks
