With permission, I drove my uncle's car which is insured under his name. (My name is not on his insurance card.)
I got pulled over a month ago (no accident) and now I was scheduled for a court appearance because I filed "not guity".
At the time of getting pulled over, I couldn't find where my uncle put his insurance card, so the cop just gave me a ticket and told me to file "not guilty".
I am wondering what the consequence would be in the court. I have never been to any court and kind of nervous. All I can think about is this case and it is affecting my daily activities. Does anyone know what the penalty would be if i found guilty? Would my liscense be suspended??
I don't really care about getting fine now. I just want to get this over with. (should I get a lawyer?) I really appreciate your time. Thanks.

Get a copy of your uncle's insurance policy and see if you are covered. If it has a guest driver policy and you are not excluded, then you should be covered. Just take a copy of the policy and his insurance card to court and show them to the judge, and the case should be dismissed.
If you aren't covered on his policy, then you're looking at a couple hundred dollar fine.
Since there was no accident, this isn't really a big deal. Don't worry too much.

The law in New York is mandatoy one year suspension of your drivers license.
If the car was actually insured at the time you were pulled over, just show proof that it was. Get a copy of your uncles insurance card, and bring it with you.
No worries.
