People v. Latif

Opinion

MALLANO, J.

This case raises the question of whether Vehicle Code section 16020,1 subdivision (a), requires drivers and owners of motor vehicles to carry not only evidence of the name of their insurance company and the number of the their insurance policy but also evidence that their insurance policy is currently in effect. We conclude that it does not.
