Re: Guy crashes into my truck, his fault, gives false insurance info
[ QUOTE ]
Interesting. I never thought that someone would manufacture fake insurance docs especially since the license plates can be traced to a house.

It is actually quite common. If you go to traffic court you'll see at least 1-2 a week.
It is a pretty serious offence. In my jurisdiction the fine is about $12k (although usually the crown will ask for less) plus another $5600 for driving without insurance. I'm not sure if it is as serious in the States but it would be something that is fairly easy to find out.
I'd definitely file a police report. I wouldn't bother suing for the $250. The time and effort plus the probability of the guy being judgement proof makes it a losing proposition.
