I was out of town with my boyfriend and I was tired of driving so he drove and got pulled over (we were both in the car). I have insurance on my car which is a Ford Explorer however we were driving a Ranger that weekend. My dad pays my insurance and he said I am insured to drive any car so the fact that my insurance slip said Ford Explorer shouldn't matter. When we got pulled over the cop wrote a ticket for driving uninsured because the slip didn't say Ford Ranger on it and I need to have proof of that. Shouldn't I be covered no matter what car the slip has on it? Also, if my boyfriend takes a copy of the insurance slip to court will they drop the ticket or does that not cover him even if I was in the car? I live in Oregon and we got pulled over in Washington if that helps.
