The insurer shall continue all motor vehicle insurance and optional additional coverages in force for thirty days following the mailing; provided that in the case of cancellation for the nonpayment of premiums the insurer shall:
(1) Mail a written notice of prospective cancellation to the insured not fewer than twenty days prior to the effective date of the cancellation; and
(2) Continue all motor vehicle insurance and optional additional coverages in force for twenty days following the mailing.
Cancellation or nonrenewal shall not be deemed valid unless the mailing required by this section is supported by a certificate of mailing properly validated by the United States Postal Service.
