Demand for proof of motor vehicle insurance.

Except when circumstances related to safety, law enforcement, or emergency medical care make it impracticable to do so, a law enforcement officer shall demand proof of insurance from the operator of any motor vehicle that: Has been involved in a traffic accident to which the law enforcement officer has responded; or Has been lawfully stopped by the law enforcement officer. The failure of the operator of a motor vehicle to present proof of insurance upon demand, in violation of § 31-2413(a)(7), shall create a rebuttable presumption that the motor vehicle is being operated without required insurance being in effect, in violation of § 31-2413(a)(3). If the operator of a motor vehicle is unable to present proof of insurance upon demand, the law enforcement officer shall issue notices of infraction for violations of § 31-2413(a)(3) and (a)(7). A law enforcement officer may not stop a motor vehicle solely for the purpose of demanding proof of insurance.
