    I say that if the driver is not on the ball enough to make certain that the paperwork is in order they deserve what they get.

    I agree with Bob! Come on you should be able to get this information correct when you see your insurance card. I say take them off the road if they have no current proof. They also pay for storage fee until they can prove insurance. Hey that could be a windfall for Arizona agents, but by all means get them off the road. It would be nice if California adopted this also, in as much as we have 50% drivers uninsured.

    Russ Reiten is correct in that if this passes there will be mistakes with the public, the government and insurance companies and producers. His concern is justified in that insurance producers in Arizona will have the added expense and potential of litigation on this issue.

    VINs comprise 17 characters (not 16).

      That caught my eye too. My first thought was “No wonder they have so many wrong, not enough digits!”

    Typo fixed — 17 digits. Thanks for pointing that out folks!

    The Arizona Legislature website says SB1165 only makes a technical correction related to energy standards

    Hey, Ben, that website is a bit slow. The bill is what’s known as a “striker” bill. In California we call it a “shell bill.” The old language was stripped and new wording was recently added to the bill. Hopefully they’ll update their site soon. Thanks for the feeback!
