Proof of Auto Insurance in Arizona

It is against the law to drive without auto insurance in Arizona and most of the country. You also must carry proof of insurance. According to the article “Proof of auto insurance requirements changing in Arizona” by Delane Cleveland on fox11az.com, the law is getting stricter when it comes to carrying proof of Arizona auto insurance.

Tony Riojas, the presiding magistrate for Tucson City Court says no proof of insurance is one of the most common citations that come through court. Currently, if someone has to go to court to prove insurance, charges are often dropped or reduced but starting October 1 that will change. Before you can get any reduction in fine not only must you show proof of insurance but you will also need to prove that you have not gotten an insurance violation within the past two years, or only one citation in the past three years.

Repeat offenders can face fines up to $1,000. Governor Jan Brewer signed the bill back in July to approve these provisions and insurance companies across Arizona approved. They believe this bill will reduce the number of uninsured drivers on the road.
