Answer 1

I'm not totally sure of what your asking...if it's regarding driving a car, it's up to you to prove it was insured while you were driving. You can always try to ask for an continuance if you need it.

Answer 2

You need a remedial course in English more than you need legal help (I'll never understand why some people on this and other websites feel it necessary to work so hard to appear ignorant; naturally, you'll write something in the "details" reprimanding me by saying that you come by it, honestly; geesh!).

$2100 for not having insurance or not having an insurance card on you with no other misdemeanor or felony associated with it?!?! Yeah, right! Even if you forgot the decimal point, $21.00 would be too low for most tickets, these days, and, though $210.00 would have seemed more likely, it is still too high for a mere insurance violation (since the presumed cop didn't know that you (or someone else) didn't have insurance, what was the real reason you (or someone else) was pulled over. If your name is on the ticket, then you are responsible for it (of course, it begs the question, how did your name get on the ticket? Even if the cop mixed up the license of that "somone (sic) else" with, presumably, your car registration, that does not excuse you for not taking care of it, earlier (i.e., arguing to the judge of the mistaken identity, if that's what this is all about; besides, do you know how many judges hear "It wasn't me! It was someone else! I'm suing them!"?).

And, no, a civil claim on the alleged other person does not stop the ticket, as they are mutually exclusive (the traffic court doesn't care about your private small-claims case). And no judge will issue an injunction on what is probably a justified ticket. Besides, you waited too long to respond to it, so you'll have to pay penalties on top of that. You'd better do it now, even on the installment plan, or you'll be installed in an 8'x10' room for a while!

Good luck, bud!

Answer 3

If you go to court w/ any kind of money, id say 100 bucks should be enough, that will buy you an extension.If you were already in a small claims procession, maybe. But since all the judge hears is another person saying "i swear i have a good reason", may be too little to late. Tell em your broke, bring in proof to back that up. Pay stubs, rent, bills, etc.

Answer 4

You need to show cause in court tomorrow to why its not your responsibility. Even after you do that the judge will most likely tell you to pay the fine and sue the other person in order to get your money back.
