However, if you are unable to show that you had valid insurance at the time the charges will stand and you will be found guilty. Be prepared to show the judge you have valid insurance now.
If you are unable to pay the full fine they can make payment arrangements with you. Ask the judge."

Since you do not have this car anymore you only have one option, if you want to get the ticket dismissed. You need to find an insurance agent that will "back-date" a policy for you. The policy must be for the car you were driving when you received the ticket. I know that you do not have that car anymore but it doesn't matter.
The current fine for no insurance is: $2000 fine, 180 day license suspension, 2 years SR-22 requirement, court cost, and $120 license reinstatement fee.
I know, I got this ticket and I am paying for it."
Should I claim bankruptcy? I am not sure if I even qualify... Here's the scoop-
My husband and I lived in California but moved to Kansas City, MO in January. I haven't been able to get a job. I am pregnant and starting to show. Although it is illegal, it makes it even harder for me to get a job. California we were making 5k a month. In Missouri my husband is only making 1800 a month. The significant price difference is affecting us. I have 6 credit card payments adding up to exactly $325 a month. 2 Car payments adding up to $645.00. Since they are under loan we have to pay 270.00 a month for insurance. Rent 529. Utilities... Food/gas. Basically, 1800 a month don't cut it.
Even if there were alternatives to claiming bankruptcy, I'd like to hear about them.
It adds up to $30,000
