I get where you’re coming from, but honestly, I’ve seen more folks run into issues with paper than digital lately. People forget to swap out expired cards or spill coffee on them—stuff happens. The app’s usually up to date and harder to lose. Sure, tech can fail, but I’d rather risk a dead phone than realize my glovebox is empty when I need proof. Just my two cents...

- Paper’s not perfect, but I’ve had my phone freeze or run out of battery at the worst times—especially in winter.
- Not every cop is thrilled about waiting for an app to load, either. Some still ask for the paper card just to keep things simple.
- I keep both, honestly. Costs nothing to print a backup card and stick it in the glovebox, just in case.
- Digital is great till you’re stuck with no signal on a rural road... happened to me once, and I was glad for the crumpled old card.
