If a vehicle is found to be uninsured, the police would then have the ability to have it towed away immediately. <\/p>\n<p>Representative Martin says that there are studies which suggest as many as a quarter of all Oklahoma <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carinsurancelist.com\/tips-uninsured-motorist-insurance.htm\">drivers are on the road without insurance coverage.<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Some members of the Oklahoma House have expressed concern with the new verification system&#8217;, questioning its accuracy. It&#8217;s also possible that there may be an issue with how to handle passengers who may be in the vehicles to be towed, especially if they are children.<\/p>\n<p>The bill must still be approved by the Oklahoma state Senate before it becomes law.  <\/p>\n<p>Some members expressed concern about the accuracy of the new verification system and the fate of passengers in the vehicle, especially children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Insurance Journal is reporting an alarming new bill that was recently approved by the Oklahoma House of Representatives.
