This is one of the few things we actually do right here, Your vehicle registration and insurance card are 1 card, the co’s report coverage to the rmv, and to get your plates you must have an application with an insurance certification on it. A special stamp is used and the agent signs it. Not to menchin that if you get stopped the officer can access the Rmv and verify that the coverage is still inforce. We have the second lowest % of uninsured moterists in the country. For once I think the bleeding hearts on Becon Hill got it right.
There are two industry efforts which attempt to address this problem: one is the bar-coded insurance card but I am sure counterfeiters will soon have that software. the other is for state governments to adopt a dual database to collect insurance coverage by owner and vehicle and match that to the registration/title of the vehicle. The state of Georgia all but did away with insurance cards; insurance coverage is confirmed electronically during traffic stops, inspection and after auto accidents. If you have plates, the insurance better be reported by your carrier electronically, or you will find law enforcement will be visting you very soon. This method works like a charm and I’ll bet that all states adopt it in the next couple of years.

CT must be Dan Rather’s place of residence. The home of “fake but accurate”.
