The Texas State Senate voted to pass a bill which would select at random 500,000 of the state’s 14 million motorists each year and require them to prove they have insurance to drive an automobile. The Dallas Morning News reported that drivers who don’t comply with the directive from the state are subject to fines and suspension of their vehicle registrations. If passed, the bill, now ticketed for the House, would produce a standard card of insurance identification for each motorist. The standard card could help solve the problem of motorists using counterfeit cards to drive without insurance. For years Texas officials have been looking for a method to solve the problem of drivers operating automobiles without insurance. Reports indicate up to 26 percent of drivers in the state do not drive with insurance, violating a Texas law which requires that they hold at least minimum liability coverage.
