W.Va. lawmakers target uninsured drivers
March 13, 2010 11:27 PM

CHARLESTON, W.Va.
Lawmakers want West Virginia to crack down on uninsured motorists by providing law enforcement with real time policy information during traffic stops and crash scenes.



Legislation passed Saturday envisions an electronic system that would also serve the courts and the Division of Motor Vehicles.

Sen. John Unger helped sponsor the bill. The Jefferson County Democrat said the measure could ease auto insurance rates in the state.

The House approved the Senate-passed bill 91-7 on Saturday, after amending it so it applied only to noncommercial vehicles. Commercial vehicle insurers could take part in the verification system voluntarily.
