It doesn't make sense to have all that insurance for a vehicle parked in a garage!
Have vehicles in Florida and Maryland. Had a USAF plate Florida, and assumed had to have Florida insurance on both. Received a letter from Florida and they were going to suspend my license if I didn’t have Md insurance. Changed to Md insurance, had to get Md plates and turn in Florida plate. Both insurance policies went down. Still have Florida license and a card with information if we are stopped with a Florida license.
