tara's car




Today I took my grand daughter Tara to the car dealer to pick up her car. She left the dealer to go to work ( a few blocks away ) and she was stopped by a policeman and given a ticket for not having insurance verification. She had the dealer's paper plate in the back window and all the sales papers in her possession and got a ticket anyway. This made me mad. Are we all at risk of being cited between the dealer and the insurance office? I went to the police department and complained. They weren't too receptive to my protests. If she had been stopped and it had been weeks since she bought the car and maybe even days, I can see being cited, but five minutes after she leaves the dealer? Has common sense disappeared from our society?

Around here you can't drive the car off the lot without proff of insurance, which is a pain in the butt if you ask me. Before the car is even yours legally, you have to start paying on insurance.
Sounds like the cop has his own version of an "insurance trap".
