Fake Auto Insurance Cards

Regulators in Connecticut are reporting a rise in the sale of fake auto insurance cards. Having auto insurance is required by law here in the state of Connecticut. These cards also must be carried in a vehicle at all times. These fake cards have surfaced over the years, but now they seem to be making a comeback. Some attribute this rise as a result of the recent economic strain. According to www.courant.com, "While legitimate insurance coverage provides protection for you, your family, and other people injured in a motor vehicle accident, trying to use fake insurance leads only to trouble," the Connecticut Insurance Department says. In fact, if the department finds out that fake insurance cards are being used, severe consequences can follow. Vehicle registration will be voided and license plates must be surrended.
