Blockchain technology is an enabler. It can act as a transaction medium between interacting parties. It can also be used as a tamper-free ledger to store a history of transactions. With these two simple abilities, blockchains can enable several applications to make vehicle-related experiences better.In this paper, we propose a tamper-free ledger of events as an insurance record of motor vehicles. This insurance record system can include all aspects of insurance transactions. It not only would improve the experience around proving insurance, but also act as evidence in the event of a dispute. This ledger can have extended services around providing a clean driving record. Individual drivers, dealers, insurance companies, lawyers, law enforcement agencies and motor vehicle agencies are all stakeholders of this blockchain based solution.
