Driving laws can often be the most confusing, even if you are driving in your own city,

Tonight's Verify claim comes from KENS5 viewer and Fair Oaks Ranch resident Mrs. Hughes who was stopped by a Fair Oaks Ranch Officer who she says told her she needed a paper copy of her insurance.Is it true that you need a paper copy of your auto insurance with you in your vehicle, not just an electronic one?"Anytime there's a question or a stop, we always advise residents to always have a proof of insurance copy with you, whether that is paper or electronic.
