Showing proof of insurance to get your vehicle inspected and to renew your drivers
license and to renew your license tags does seem like alot - unless you have been
hit twice by uninsured motorists and have to go thru the agony of using your own
uninsured motorist insurance (which I shouldn't even need if everyone would obey
the law) to have your car repaired.
