I know at one time the state would send out random letters to people w/ vehicles asking for proof of insurance. If they couldn't prove they had it they would get a suspended lisence.
My question is when you get pulled over for whatever the reason, the cop will ask for DL, & vehicle registration, & maybe your insurance card. Are you required to automatically supposed to give them a Ins card or only if THEY ask for it.
When I got pulled over in '05 for a speed (just ended up w/warning), I was only asked for my DL & Reg. As I was pulling out that stuff out of the glovebox, I asked the statey if he wanted my Ins. card. He was like ''yeah if you have it".
In the last couple weeks people that work for me are getting these notices from the state DMV that states "you didn't provide proof of Ins during this traffic stop"
One friend of mine went to court over a Failure to stop & then failure to pull over (quick enough), 2bad front headlights, etc. She ended up getting a lawyer & got all the extra stuff knocked down to a moving violation, no points & whatever fine..
She thinks it's all said & done and then she gets a notice about 1 month later stating the pulllover & how she did not give them any insurance proof at either the time of the arrest or in court. She was never asked at either place.
If this was such a big deal then why did a knowledgeable traffic offense type lawyer NOT tell her that she needed to do this??? WTF??
It sounds like a easy $$ maker if that's the case.
