It is unlawful for anyone to use a motor vehicle for peddling, or for the owner of any motor vehicle to permit such vehicle to be used for peddling, unless such owner maintains public liability and property damage insurance covering the use and operation of such vehicle while peddling, in the amounts hereinafter provided, and no peddler's license shall be issued for peddling with any motor vehicle unless the owner of the motor vehicle to be so used has filed with the Auditor a policy or policies of public liability insurance providing coverage for personal injury to or death of any one person in the amount of at least $10,000.00, and subject to the aforesaid limit of any one person injured or killed, of at least $20,000.00 for personal injury to or death of two or more persons in any one accident, and for damage to property in the amount of at least $5,000.00 resulting from any one accident. Such policy or policies must contain an endorsement providing for ten days notice to the Auditor in the event of any change or cancellation.

It is unlawful to operate or permit to be operated any motor vehicle for peddling unless there shall accompany such vehicle a valid and subsisting certificate from the insurer setting forth the make, type and motor number or identification number of the vehicle and the name of the company providing the public liability insurance herein required and the insurance policy number or numbers.

The Auditor shall provide one or more tags or plates for each motor vehicle to be used for peddling by any licensee, which tag or plate shall evidence that all required insurance has been filed and all necessary peddler's licenses obtained.
