The cop gave them a ticket - or they couldn't open the glove box? I think that is pretty heartless if he wrote them up because the box was jammed shut - because of an accident anyway.

Both -- they couldn't open the glove box, so couldn't show proof of insurance, so he ticketed them (my step-son, actually, because he was driving). Of course, the ticket was dismissed when they showed the judge that insurance was in force at the time of the accident.

Yes, the officer was extremely "letter-of-the-law". I couldn 't think of a "10-year-old-daughter-appropriate" word at the time. Sorry about that.

Every insurance company I've had would provide as many cards as you wanted, and a few provided one per car plus one per driver without being asked. I always keep one in my wallet and my wife keeps one in her purse. If nothing else, in a wreck it would keep us from having to dig around among broken glass and such any more than necessary.

It also keeps you from getting a ticket for no proof of insurance, in the event the collision distorts the panel to the extent that you can't get the glovebox open (happened to my wife and step-son several years ago).
