If you get a ticket in new york city for driving without insurance can you beat it in a hearing?

Question

the vehicle is presently uninsured although the vehicle is mine. got the ticket in june 2008, i had liability that expired in march 2006.

Answer 1

agree with nightrider.  

Answer 2

New York is a mandatory insurance state, so to answer your question, no, I dont see how you can beat it in a hearing. The only way around this would be to show proof of insurance that was in effect BEFORE the date of the ticket itself.

Best of luck and I hope this is useful to you

Answer 3

really, are you really asking this question???

You're going to go to court and a judge is going to ask you for proof of insurance, which you won't provide and he'll continue to give you a fine and probably impound the vehicle until you show proof of current insurance.
