Doris Layne News Today

Mark Gillenwater’s DMV problems began early in June, when he sold a gray 1995 Nissan truck, bought a red 1995 Nissan truck, then phoned his State Farm Insurance agent to update his policy. But the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles never got that memo. As a result, the agency repeatedly threatened to suspend Gillenwater’s driver’s license.

Doris Layne bought a used SUV in July, and, through her insurance agent, immediately added the vehicle to her auto policy. But the Department of Motor Vehicles refused to believe the car was insured, and threatened to suspend Layne’s driver’s license.
