Oklahomans' insurance to be checked in real time

According to Barbara Hoberock's article, "Police get help to check insured," written last week for the Tulsa World, police officers will be able to check drivers' insurance status in real time.  The software system allows officers to check driver's licenses and registration, but will also be provided to tag agents and the courts.

Now, for the startling statistic:
"..[it's] estimated that based on vehicle registration data, about 25 percent [of Oklahomans] don't have the required insurance."
We've handled a lot of cases where our clients are injured by an uninsured driver, but this is a staggering number.
