Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I would never use my insurance to repair a windshield.
Bailey, courts used to just drop no insurance tickets with proper proof. Last time it happened to me, they dropped the ticket and STILL charged me court fees. Bastards.

Why is that? I've used our ins for this baybe 4 times in 6 or 7 years and haven't had them raise rates or anything. And it's part of my coverage that I pay for, so why not?Originally Posted by Irving
Likewise. It's one of the selling points outside the cost of coverage for what we receive. Maybe some people Aren't in Good hands.

Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.
I'd say he did you a favor. If he would've written you for the insurance, thats a mandatory court appearance (summons). The windshield you can take care of via the mail, or fight it in court if you want. Lame ticket though for sure.

Can you get a ticket for expired insurance if your paper insurance card is expired but you still show valid and current digital proof of insurance???
Valid question. I'm not sure.
On second thought, they can write you a ticket for just about anything with ZERO justification. Then the burden is on you to defend yourself in court.

I believe you can. It has something to do with one of the rules of operating a motor vehicle requires carrying(not just maintaining) valid proof of insurance. However, if you show you had valid insurance at the time of the stop, they'll just drop the violation.
That's my point. I carry my smart phone with me in the car at all times so technically I am carrying proof even if the paper copy is expired. Anyone familiar with the statutes? Is a digital insurance card valid proof? Cstone, I'm looking at you...
I'm not sure if, by law, digital proof is adequate, but I got into a wreck and didn't have my paper copy. I renewed a week or so before and just forgot to print it. I logged on and showed the State Trooper my phone and he was fine with it. It was funny too, because I had terrible cell coverage and it took forever to download.
