I think auto insurance companies should be required to issue the insured driver a sticker to put on the vehicle, like the registration sticker. That way, you can verify that the vehicle is insured.

Annual vehicle inspections have very little value. I once knew a guy who worked for a new car dealership and his full time job was to inspect brand new vehicles as required by state law. Inspecting low mileage vehicles that are less than 5 years old is a waste of time and money. Also, mandatory vehicle inspections is a license to steal money from uninformed vehicle owners by service stations. I was once told that my inspection failed because my headlights were misaligned. It was not true, so I called the state police and they required the station to issue a sticker and refund the inspection fee.
