First 'Major' ticket

My dad just got 700 dollars in tickets on teh route he drives to work everyday. At 3am on a 4lane highway its kinda easy to speed, and the highway dumps into a 2 lane each way road that takes the speed limit from 65 to 35 and so he was doing like 90 in a 35. Then the cop asks to see his proof of insurance and my dad could only find our agents card for his charger not his work car. My dad offers to dig around some more in the glove box (where there ended up being a good card) but the cop said no don;t worry about it. He came back up from his car after writing the tickets with a speeding ticket, one for driving an uninsured vehicle, and one for failing to provide proof of insurance. He can fight the driving the an uninsured vehicle one but not the failing to provide proof one, which is lame cuz the cop told him not to worry about it. What the frack?
