Expired insurance card

Did you know if you are pulled over for a routine traffic stop and you have an expired insurance card they will tow your vehicle? We all know that your license plate is ran before officer do-better gets out his car. They can clearly tell if you have insurance by running the plate. I asked the cop why he couldn’t just go off his laptop info and he said the department doesn’t like him to go off of that. We are anything but free in this country…… police freaking suck. I would never tow someone’s car if I was a police officer when I knew they had insurance.

Why are you mad at the police when this clearly is your fault?

You can show them your current insurance coverage on your phone.

Aren’t all insurance cards on phones these days? If the card is expired, probably means your insurance is expired. And car shouldn’t be on the road.

I’m mad at the police cause it’s a money making racket.

I don't even have an insurance card in my vehicle.

Do you have insurance?

Depends on where you live I suppose.
I got pulled over the other night in my wife's car, because it had a headlight out on dim. I hadn't even noticed that.
Also found out that she keeps the insurance card in her purse
Cop ran the tag and found out that the insurance was fine.
He told me to replace the light and I went on my way.

That’s fricking stupid. The DMV gets updates every month from insurance companies on cancellations. If he had an MDT he could get the return just by running your plate. I could have card that shows valid but not paid my policy for months.
BTW your insurance company probably has an app that has an electronic proof of your policy.

Thanks for the info. Will look into that.

Did you ask if you could download your insurance app?
towing your car is a bit much for an expired insurance card.

No.
While I have the ability to show proof of insurance on my phone I print physical cards and keep those and registration in an envelope that stays in the owner's manual folio in every car glovebox. I am not handing my unlocked phone to an officer if at all possible.

I would have them on the news that evening.

I see the inverse of this happen fairly regularly. Buy a policy valid for six months. Get a card showing that. Pay in monthly installments and stop paying after the first month.
You’ve got a card showing coverage but it’s actually cancelled because you didn’t pay the premium.
I’d love to see law enforcement go to a more real-time model of being able to access a database.

Last time I got pulled over, he didn't even want my insurance card because he said he could already see it. You should also be able to pull it up on your phone and show them.

I’m with Safeco and I can put my card into my wallet on the iPhone. No need to unlock. Has a QR code for the officer if he needs more info.

Expired card and you have current insurance?
Or expired card and your insurance has expired?
These are two very different things
