If you fail to present your insurance card when stopped by a police officer, you may be fined
- $400. ✓
- $1,000.
- $150.
- $750.
Answer: A. $400.
You can be fined up to $400 if you fail to show your insurance card to a police officer who asks for it.
Why this is the answer
The handbook says that whenever you drive a vehicle, whether it is yours or someone else's, you must carry the pink liability insurance card issued for that vehicle. When an officer asks to see it, you have to show it. The handbook states that failing to do so can lead to a fine of up to $400, which is the amount the question is asking about.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. $1,000. — The handbook gives the maximum fine as $400, not $1,000, so this amount is too high.
- C. $150. — The handbook sets the fine at up to $400, so $150 does not match what it says.
- D. $750. — The handbook does not mention $750 for this situation; the stated maximum is $400.
Remember it
Carry the pink card for the vehicle you are driving, and remember the penalty tops out at four hundred dollars.
