Totally get where you're coming from—digital is convenient until it isn't. I've seen plenty of cases where someone's phone dies or the app crashes right when they need proof of insurance. Paper copies might seem outdated, but honestly, having one tucked in your glovebox can save a lot of headaches. Tech's great, but it's smart to have a backup plan. You're definitely not alone in feeling that way...
Ever had your phone freeze up on you right when you're supposed to show proof? Happened to me at a classic car meetup last summer—felt pretty dumb fumbling around. Since then, paper copy stays in the glovebox...lesson learned the hard way, I guess.
"Ever had your phone freeze up on you right when you're supposed to show proof?"
Yeah, digital proof can be convenient until it's suddenly not... I've seen plenty of claims delayed because someone couldn't pull up their insurance info on the spot. Makes me wonder—does South Dakota even accept digital insurance cards officially, or is it just something people assume is fine? Might be worth double-checking before relying solely on your phone.
Haha, seriously, why does tech always choose the absolute worst time to betray us? I've had that awkward moment at least twice now—once when I got pulled over for a busted tail light and my phone decided to update right then. Officer just stood there patiently while I nervously rambled about "technology these days..." 😂
But yeah, pretty sure South Dakota officially allows digital insurance cards now. I remember reading about it somewhere when renewing my policy online. Still, after that embarrassing roadside experience, I always keep a paper copy tucked away in the glove box. Call me old-fashioned, but paper doesn't randomly reboot or freeze mid-proof, y'know?
Anyone else ever had their phone pull a stunt like that at the worst possible moment? Or is it just me with the cursed luck here...?
Haha, you're definitely not alone with that cursed luck. My phone once decided to freeze right as I was trying to show my digital insurance card at the DMV. Talk about timing... The clerk just stared at me like I was making excuses. Ever since then, I've kept a paper copy handy too—tech's great until it decides to embarrass you in public.
