Ok, here's what went down! Danielle was pulled over today for 74 in a 60 by a Sheriff. While pulled over, she went to grab her insurance and registration, and was unable to find her pink insurance card, it was not with her registration (which she produced). Long story short, she got written up for failure to produce valid insurance.....She discussed with the officer the following which did nothing:
She renewed her registration 2 weeks ago, the day her car was stolen. She needs valid insurance to register her car, and our policy regardless is good till april 08....
During her car being stolen, it may be likely the pink card didn't get returned by the officer dealing with the theft by accident, or may have been lost as her glove box was ripped off (and still is!!)
Now, it was my understanding you have 48 hours or so to produce valid insurance, am I wrong? We have 6 extra pink cards sitting at home at any given time incase one is lost or so, and its reasonable to assume with the history of that car in the last while that human error has occured, resulting in a misplaced card. She was given NO option to prove valid insurance at any point, and simply given the fine.
Does anyone on here know any of this info I'm looking for????
1. Is there a grace period to prove insurance (pink card dates cover without a question)
2. How the heck do I get ahold of the sheriffs department?? Do they have an office?? No contact info on the ticket...
3. Is the best bet to goto court with the above documents and plead her case (a truly unfortunate one, poor girl has had nothing good happen this month)?
Thanks....
