Upon the production of proof of financial security such presumption 12 is removed. Production of proof of financial security may be made by 13 mailing such proof to the court having jurisdiction in the matter, and 14 any necessary response by such court or acknowledgement of the 15 production of such proof may also be made by mail. When insurance with 16 respect to any motor vehicle, other than a motorcycle, is terminated the 17 owner shall surrender forthwith his registration certificate and number 18 plates of the vehicle to the commissioner unless proof of financial 19 security otherwise is maintained in compliance with this article. 20 (2) Proof of financial security may be established by means of trans- 21 mission of an electronic version of the owner's insurance card to the 22 owner's or operator's smart phone or other portable electronic device 23 provided that: EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [] is old law to be omitted.
