Justice for carrying a proof of insurance card. Very irresponsible OP.

And it's actually a business plan of some small towns. Either A) you bring it and it gets removed or B) they fine you and make money. As many here like to point out, MS is the poorest state in the nation. It has to take all it can. frick yo feelings.

I have no idea how much a ticket is for not having proof of insurance, but I'd think less than the cost of the drive.

But feel free to whine some more!

Relative to other states? Nah, probably not.
Just in general? Yeah, definitely so.

If you're from Mississippi, they give you an email address and fax number. You can send in proof of insurance and they'll drop the ticket.

They make all those dirty rat bastards from out of state come back for a court date.

Yet, in Tunics County, you can be popped with weed. Get arrested. Pay 500 and admit guilt, get out at same time, and they mail you the difference after they take court fines out. Think it was 250, and never had to see court.

If you have a smart phone, you could have pulled up your info on your carriers website while you were pulled over.

How is the law written in Mississippi concerning car insurance? Even people with out-of-state license plates are required to have insurance just to pass through Mississippi?

I had to go to Oxford, MS for a meeting a few months ago and received a speeding ticket and ticket for not showing proof of insurance in Pontotoc County.

These rednecks from the 1800's expect me to come there in person to show insurance and pay. You can't fax or email them proof of insurance and pay over the phone or via website.

2.5 hour drive and a wasted work day for this bullshite. yea, I'm mad.




Look, someone from Alabama calling someone a redneck.
Don't speed through my count.

the question you should ask yourself is what reason do you have for NOT having your insurance card on you?

But you can renew your driver's license in MS for eight years instead of four. Can't do that in Bama.

There is no federal law that requires motorists to have car insurance. Not all states require it either.

I guess that I'm mainly wondering how Mississippi law enforcement can claim that they can enforce Mississippi's car insurance laws on the OP--since his vehicle is apparently not registered within Mississippi's borders...and if he were from say New Hampshire, Virginia, Wisconsin, etc. where they don't require car insurance, would he have to buy some kind of temporary insurance for 3 hours just so he could pass through Mississippi to get from Louisiana to another state?
