Anyway, back to business. All of the above applied because I actually HAD valid insurance at the time I was pulled over. If you don't/didn't have insurance, that's a different story.
The point of the ticket that he got was not for having no insurance, if it was, the fine would be upwards of $3,000 and he wouldn't have been driving his car away that day.
Anyway, if you did/do have valid insurance for your car, don't pay the ticket. Just bring your insurance card to court with you and you're fine.
Take this advice at your own risk. I don't see why the JP would drop the charges, nor do they ever do so in London. The ticket says "failure to produce insurance card" or "failure to carry insurance card" correct? They don't care if you have one, in fact, they know you do, because otherwise you'd be getting that $3,000+ ticket above. The point of this measily $70 ticket is for not carrying the proper card at the time. Whether you have it or not is of no consequence. Just pay it.
