No, Tony,
If your insurance company has signed up with the DMV, that information is
already in the books, electronicaly. If you still are insured with Southern
California Podunk Mutual (LLIC)(Limited Liability Insurance Company), you
will still get  the notice that insurance proof is required.

Just see what happens when your insurance company screws up. Prepare
yourself for a long afternoon down at the DMV.
