I stumbled across this website and was hoping you guys could clarify this...
I read a lot of car forums and this part was in the legal section of one





Pulled over without car insurance? No problem!

All states in the United States require that you have auto insurance to operate a vehicle if you're caught without auto insurance you can lose your license for up to 6 months and/or a minimum of a $1000 fine.

There is a way to get out of this though. Depending on the state you live in, you have anywhere from 10-30 days to provide proof of insurance after an incident.

To go your local insurance dealer and ask if they offer Bond Insurance. If they offer Bond insurance, ask them if they'll backdate it for you. This means that they'll give you a card saying that you had insurance for previous months, when you really didn't. Of course, you're going to have to pay for these months. A Bond Insurance is an auto insurance that covers a particular driver with liability on any car that he drives the rates are usually high, but its often cheaper for people with bad driving records because it doesn't cover a particular car.

Once you get your backdated Insurance Card, you're home free.



Now, can is it possible to backdate car insurance? And if so, how often can it be done?

OH MY GOSH !!! Markymark WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?

It's so full of misinformation I don't know where to start! :shock:


First this is not true.....

All states in the United States require that you have auto insurance to operate a vehicle

ALL states do not require ''insurance'' some only require financial responsiblity.....one of the ways to prove financial responsiblity is with a bond....but.......bonding requires a lot of financial information and pretty strict underwriting, and time.......(i had to be bonded twice-so I know what I'm talking about at least in the great state of Missouri)....

If they offer Bond insurance, ask them if they'll backdate it for you

This is fraud and a felony!!!!!!!!!! I don't know any agent that is a big enough moron to do this! :roll:

This means that they'll give you a card saying that you had insurance for previous months, when you really didn't.

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!! AGAIN!!!!!!!!!


Once you get your backdated Insurance Card, you're home free.

And you and the agent deserve to go to jail!

Serious what publication did this appear in if you don't mind saying?

Ohhh sry, my bad. :oops: I read more into the thread and this was what the guy said. Is it still true?



I took it for granted that this would go without saying, but I should also include that an Insurance Agent would only issue such a request if it was a typical traffic violation... he wouldnt backdate your insurance if you were in an accident or what not.

I have to say that this is possibly the most ridiculous post I have ever seen in these forums. Anyone who actually believes it should either (1) committed to the asylum for the criminally/terminally stupid, or (2) get what they deserve when the agent/producer who actually committed this patently stupid, and frankly offensive act gets nailed.

This CANNOT LEGALLY BE DONE...ANYWHERE...PERIOD.

Sorry...just had to get in my opinion. Excuse me if this was ranting.

:D :lol: love that! Ins teacher!

He'd damn well better not backdate ANYTHING! EVER!

Excuse me if this was ranting.

This one is worthy of ranting in my opinion!

Is it still true?

I don't know if it's ''true'' meaning if some idiot has/would do this...I do know it's illegal...and if I were an agent and you ask me to do something like this I would immediate contact underwriting and make sure you were never accepted as an insured, or non-renew you (or anyone making such a request) if possible....


OP again I ask you where did you read this?
