Top 3 Things You Must Know About Auto Liability Insurance Changes:
- On January 1, 2006, all insurance companies were required to report insurance status to DMV for all private use vehicles.
- As of July 1,2006, law enforcement and court personnel have access to DMV records to verify that your California registered vehicle is currently insured.
- Effective October 1, 2006, your vehicle registration is subject to suspension if the liability insurance is cancelled, OR if your insurance company has not electronically provided evidence of insurance when you purchase and register your vehicle, OR if you provide DMV with false insurance information.
These changes provide you with increased assurance that fewer uninsured vehicles will be on California’s roadways.
Remember, you must carry proof of insurance in your vehicle at all times.
