You'll probably be banned from driving for a year and given a fine.
yes! But you will have to pay your states "fix it ticket" rate.
The ticket will only get dropped if you have proof that you HAD insurance at the time of the ticket had been issued. You may get the ticket fine lowered with proof that you now have the required insurance.
If a ticket is thrown out in court your insurance will not go up. The ticket will not appear on your driving record wich is used to help set your rate. Insurance companys go by whats on your record and their is no record of an officer giveing you a ticket only the conviction.
the only thing that matters is whether or not you had insurance at the date you got pulled over. if you got insurance two weeks later that will not work. if you had valid insurance but did not have a copy of it with you contact the court and let them know...they will ask for proof of coverage. if you can provide that they will dismiss the ticket. acceptable proof of insurance is an insurance card showing you had coverage on said date or a letter of experience from your insurance company.
go to traffic court and take your proof of insurance with you. this will prove to the judge that you have insurance and they will usually remove that part of the ticket.
Around $50 +
bench warrant
The ticket probably wasn't for no insurance, it was for no proof of insurance. Depending on your state, you should be able to just go to the county clerk (or just attend the court date on your ticket) show the judge proof of insurance.
300.00 I got a ticket for this. I got insurance the day after getting the ticket. The judge gave me credit off the ticket for getting proof of insurance and then they added court cost . In total it cost me 215 bucks plus the cost of insurance.
Usually you can just take in proof to court that you had active coverage on the date of loss and they will most likely drop the ticket.
The fee assessed to the ticket will be assigned by the judge in traffic court. There's no set fee for a ticket that requires a court appearance. And depending on the outcome of the hearing, your insurance rates may be adjusted. Best advice? Slow down. Keep yourself and others safe.
I would say the Court listed on the ticket that you received. I would even state that the phone number for such court is probably listed on the ticket itself.
