Say, today is 1st Feb’09. I had an auto policy (from Farmers) that expired on 1st Jan’09. Today, I buy a new policy from a different insurance company(AAA).
When I discontinue service with Farmers, am I bound to show the new insurance policy to them? Also, will I get charged for the period from 1st Jan’09 to 31st Jan’09 by Farmers?

I’m thinking about changing my auto insurance company soon. I’ll probably go to online to get a quote and the insurance.
When I looked through all the questions they ask for the quote, I noticed that they ask if there are any damages on the vehicles.
(There are few scratches here and there on my vehicle.)
If I answer that there are, they would ask me how did it get them and tell me that I should report those accidents.
But I don’t want to report and I don’t even want to fix them.
Therefore, I know it’s an immoral act but I want to answer that there aren’t any damages.
So here comes my question,
After the applications and all, do the insurance company ask the driver to go through the auto inspection?
