My boyfriend got pulled over and initially got "warned" for speeding. The officer then asks for insurance info. which he provides. It is in my name only. The officer then gives him a ticket for no insurance. This occured 1 time in the past and when he provided the officer with my insurance info. at the time it was not questioned. Is my insurance sufficent to give to the court house for proof of insurance?

It appears that the police officer cited your boyfriend for not having proof of insurance so the insurance you maintain on the vehicle would not be sufficient. If the citation was against the vehicle than your proof probably would be enough. It sounds like the first time your boyfriend got pulled over that either the officer let him off because there was insurance on the vehicle or just did not notice the boyfriend was not listed on the policy.

Alternatively, the officer could have been wrong. That courts are setup to determine fault.

Your boyfriend should call the courthouse and find out what he needs to do regarding his ticket. He could be facing license suspension, a fine, be required to get an SR22 or more. We can help him get insured -get an online auto insurance quote so that he will be properly insured by the time of his court case.
