18 hours ago
It has always bugged me. Many people know how to get around the mandatory Insurance Laws in Kentucky. You simply buy insurance on monthly payments, get your license plate renewed, and either cancel or quit paying. You have a valid plate/registration with no insurance for up to 11 months.

Police Will be Out in Force Memorial Day Weekend
‘Click It or Ticket’ enforcement mobilization aimed at increasing seat belt use day and night
Motorists who refuse to wear their seat belts – beware. The 2012 national “Click It or Ticket” Memorial Day seat belt enforcement mobilization kicks off May 21 to help save lives by cracking down on those who don’t buckle up.
