Proof Of Financial Responsibility

[prostock1]

This was my experience;

2 years ago get pulled over, went to show him my insurance, was told that when he ran my plate, it showed I had current proof of financial responsibility.

1 year after that, got stopped again, didn't have my card, asked the LEO if it showed I had Liability through the NCIC check...He told me the law states I must show proof when asked for it.......

It all depends on who you're dealing with at the time.....


I KNOW...." STOP BREAKING THE LAW ASSHOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

§ 601.053. EVIDENCE OF FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. (a) As
a condition of operating in this state a motor vehicle to which
Section 601.051 applies, the operator of the vehicle on request
shall provide to a peace officer, as defined by Article 2.12, Code
of Criminal Procedure, or a person involved in an accident with the
operator evidence of financial responsibility by exhibiting:
(1) a motor vehicle liability insurance policy
covering the vehicle that satisfies Subchapter D or a photocopy of
the policy;
(2) a standard proof of motor vehicle liability
insurance form prescribed by the Texas Department of Insurance
under Section 601.081 and issued by a liability insurer for the
motor vehicle;
(3) an insurance binder that confirms the operator is
in compliance with this chapter;
(4) a surety bond certificate issued under Section
601.121;
(5) a certificate of a deposit with the comptroller
covering the vehicle issued under Section 601.122;
(6) a copy of a certificate of a deposit with the
appropriate county judge covering the vehicle issued under Section
601.123; or
(7) a certificate of self-insurance covering the
vehicle issued under Section 601.124 or a photocopy of the
certificate.
(b) An operator who does not exhibit evidence of financial
responsibility under Subsection (a) is presumed to have operated
the vehicle in violation of Section 601.051.

Acts 1995, 74th Leg., ch. 165, § 1, eff. Sept. 1, 1995. Amended
by Acts 1997, 75th Leg., ch. 1423, § 18.06, eff. Sept. 1, 1997.

The law states YOU will provide the proof, but it sounds like the officer was a dick.

The law does not say it has to be a hard copy, I wonder why the thread about the inspection station refused to inspect without a hard copy.

Sometimes it doesn't matter....nice or not....when you're dealing with Barney Fife

How fucking stupid do you have to be to not have insurance information in your car? Why would you have it anywhere else? Will you be on your computer at home and suddenly find a need to show it?
No, the only time you'll need it is if there is something involving your vehicle. Why would you not have it in your vehicle?
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

What if you own hundreds or thousands of automobiles? Can't exactly carry a massive scroll with all your insurance info.

What if you own hundreds or thousands of automobiles? Can't exactly carry a massive scroll with all your insurance info.

The statute states the required info includes the VIN of the vehicle covered.

There are tons of dealerships/rental agencies/fleets with "All owned and/or non owned vehicles" on the card. This is in violation.

I've always wanted to get a copy of one and use it as my own since they can't prove it doesn't cover mine.
