To whom it may concern;
It is my humble opinion that the underwriter is the agency determining whether
or not the vehicle would be covered in the event of a loss, not the DMV. In the
past I have experienced person's who interpret the law and subsequent policies
to
their own liking, whether or not it is real. My advice is to contact the
underwriter or their broker. In this particular case that may be JC Taylor.
