"Tech glitches always seem to happen at the worst possible moment, don't they?"
Tell me about it... I once had a client stuck out near Rapid City whose phone died right when he needed to show proof of insurance. Ended up having to fax a copy from my office (yeah, fax machines still exist apparently). Ever since then, I always recommend folks keep a printed copy tucked away somewhere in the glovebox. Digital's convenient until it's suddenly not.
"Digital's convenient until it's suddenly not."
Couldn't agree more. I learned this the hard way when my phone froze up completely at a traffic stop near Sioux Falls. Luckily, the officer was understanding and let me restart it, but those few minutes felt like forever. Ever since then, I keep a printed copy in the glovebox too—just feels safer having a backup that doesn't rely on batteries or signal strength.
Had a similar scare last summer near Rapid City. Phone was fine, but the signal dropped out right when I needed to pull up my insurance info. Officer was patient, thankfully, but it made me realize digital isn't always reliable. Now I keep a printed copy tucked away too—just peace of mind knowing it's there if tech decides to bail on me again.
Had something similar happen outside Sioux Falls a couple years back. Cop asked for insurance, and of course, my phone decided to freeze up right then. He just shook his head and said, "Tech, huh?" Learned my lesson—paper copy stays in the glove box now.
Had a similar issue once, but honestly, I'm still skeptical about relying solely on digital copies. Tech always seems to fail at the worst possible moment... Paper backup just feels safer, even if it's old-school.
