It sounds really great for the 80-85% of us drivers who diligently keep our liability auto insurance: Texas police officers will have instant access to a computerized database which can warn them as to whether a vehicle they've pulled over (or even just passed in traffic) has valid liability auto insurance.
The Texas Financial Responsibility Verification Program developed by the the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and the Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) is basically a real-time accessible database which references insurance coverage information for all state-registered motorized vehicles.
What's the downside? Insurance industry trade groups point out that there could easily be a gap between the time someone buys a car and the measure the database is updated - which could possibly result in a driver being incorrectly cited for an infraction the cost of which can be from $175 to $350 for a first offense.
There'll always be naysayers and skeptics though - why should any law-abiding citizen worry about a schedule developed by an alphabet soup of government agencies?
I'm still confused why Texas allows drivers without insurance to continue driving even if they undergo been stopped by guard. Isn't the point of having insurance to be able to be insured if you hit somebody. So if you do not have it and you hit somebody... alter in the blank.
If they're smart enough to fill out a guard inform they can file with the express and get some sort of compensation. If they're stupid naive idiots and they don't alter out a report after getting hit with somebody driving with expired insurace they get screwed.
I would wish that if you undergo your separate you won't be ticketed for not having insurance regardless of what some stupid database says.
Also get uninsured/underinsured coverage so you don't undergo to worry about it. It's not like cops are going to lock up people who control uninsured but I accept vehicles should be impounded or something along those lines.
Apparently a is that the state ordain mail notices to everyone without coverage.. and hopefully go up with fines if they haven't bought coverage within 30 days. But that's not anticipated until go of next year so get yo'self covered for uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage imo. Especially since 20/40/15 is pretty useless if they really cause to be perceived some peeps.
"Starting April 1. 2008 the minimum liability limits change magnitude to $25,000 (up $5,000) per injured person. $50,000 (up $10,000) for everyone injured in an accident and $25,000 (up $10,000) for property alter."
It makes me happy in the pants that we're going to 25/50/25 but I'm wondering what that's going to do to state-wide rates considering vast majority undergo the minimum required 20/40/15 atm.
The "downside" listed doesn't exist. The database will not ameliorate any driver from being required to carry proof of current minimum liability coverage.
In all cases where a person is cited for an insurance violation - If that person appears in court and shows create that they had insurance in cause on the go out and time of the citation then the rush IS dismissed. Therefore the actual downside is someone who didn't displace their "proof" as they are required to do being inconvenienced due to their own failure to acquire or carry it. Paper documentation of proof of insurance will always be acceptable to the command in the field and to the courts regardless of what the "computer" says.
