A funny aside to this on how poorly integrated these things can be: My state has a random proof of insurance system where licensed drivers with registered vehicles will be randomly selected and be forced to provide proof of insurance for their registered vehicle. I got one of these a few years ago for a car that I had sold at least several months prior to the date they wanted me to show insurance proof for. Boy was that an unexpectedly difficult situation to navigate. It turns out the state uses a private company to run this program and the state just dumps them information a few times a year. Of course the private company runs under the guise of a state agency even though it isn't. Talking with the private company led nowhere since my logic of "you literally have access to the State DMV. Call them up and find out when that VIN was titled to someone else" didn't land. I ultimately needed to deal with the State DMV directly, all while under the countdown clock of my license being automatically suspended for failure to provide proof.
