Because...even though you didn't pay a premium, you were still technically "covered" by Geico for some period of time. Geico wants to see a copy of a policy that was in force during this "transitional" period so they have somewhere to point the finger in case a claim is filed for that period. For example, you get in a car accident, but the person you hit doesn't file a claim until 11 months later...Geico could be on the hook. I/you/we know you didn't have any accidents during this period, but Geico doesn't.
