The person must notify the company issuing the identification card of the acquisition of the additional or replacement vehicle(s) within fifteen days of acquisition. Possession of any binder issued pending the issuance of a motor vehicle liability policy shall likewise be deemed to fulfill the requirements of this section.

(c) The effective date of the policy;

(d) The expiration date of the policy; and

(e) A description of the year, make and/or model of the insured vehicle(s) and/or the name of the insured driver. If there are five or more vehicles under common ownership, the word "fleet" may be used in place of the vehicle description. The insurance company may issue a supplemental listing of vehicles covered.

If an insurance company issues an identification card containing information in addition to that identified above, the above information shall be printed in such a way so as to be readily discernible. To the extent practical, the insurance identification card shall be printed in a manner so as to discourage tampering.

(1) An older insured driver is eligible for insurance premium reduction upon completion of a senior driver accident prevention course, as provided by RCW 48.19.460.

(2) This premium reduction is allowed for courses given in a classroom setting and courses given by an alternative delivery method, including but not limited to, internet, video, or other technology based methods.

(3) Courses provided by an alternative method of delivery must be approved by the department of licensing.

(c) Asking the participant to provide information at the beginning of the course, and then asking questions during the course to verify that information.

These questions will be used to ensure that the participant who is taking the course is actually the person receiving the course material.

(5) Providers of senior driver accident prevention courses given by an alternative delivery method will maintain records of participants who complete the course and are issued certificates. These records will be made available to the department of licensing upon written request.
