TULSA - The law took effect just four days ago, and already some drivers have lost their cars.



Officials are making it very clear that they won't hesitate to tow a vehicle if it means making the roads safer for everyone else.



"If you're out here driving without insurance you better think again, we're towing vehicles," says Trooper George Brown.



OHP towed its first car in the Tulsa area on Thursday. Trooper Brown says he thinks they'll be towing many more.



"This is proof that people are driving around out there without insurance," Brown said.



Since Monday, Tulsa Police say they've towed six vehicles for not having insurance. Storey Wrecker says they've been pretty busy. The law is also creating a buzz among customers of A-Affordable Insurance.



"Some of them are making sure their verification is up to date and we've had lines of people coming in making their payments on their insurance, I think it's just making people aware to keep it up to date," says owner Less Lieurance.



It's also bringing in new clients. Lieurance says the company has filled out a lot more applications for car insurance this week as people realize how much extra trouble it will be if they are caught without it.



"You really can't afford not to have it. I mean what will it cost to have your car impounded? What would it really have to cost you to go to court because you didn't have insurance on your vehicle," he said.



While towing may be a harsh punishment, Lieurance says anything that helps motivate people to have insurance is a good idea.



If your car is towed you'll need to show proof of insurance before you can get it back. Drivers have 45 days to pick up their vehicle before it is sold at auction.
