Here’s the deal. I don’t normally drive because I didn’t not have enough money for a while to get car insurance and didn’t want to drive without it. An inspector was coming to my house with my landlord and I didn’t want the dog to possibly attack (2 strange men in my house, I was fearful she’d be protective), so i crated her, which I hate to do. Wanting to run home and uncrate her during the day, I took the car, figuring it’s only 2 miles away, what could happen? Well, on my way to let her out, I was pulled over for “running a stop sign” (I disagree, but that is a different story) and of course, still had no insurance. Now I have a court date, etc.. and I know the consequence in my state is a $ 1500.00 fine and suspension for 6 months… my question is… I don’t have 1500.00 to my name to pay this… do they make payment plans or anything? I can’t find anything online about it… I live in Delaware. I want to do the right thing and understand what I did was wrong and am scared.
I thank you all for your help, except for the person who chooses not to believe the situation. It’s a stupid one, I know, but c’mon, if I was going to make something up, I’d come up with something better. However, I know how courts work and I wouldn’t lie. I work in an industry where we catch liars every day… it would be pretty easy to be caught. Besides, like the officer told me to do, right when I got to work, I paid for a policy, it’s just I knew I did not have it at the time of the stop. Everything in the situation works into a very specific timeframe so hopefully the judge goes easy on me. Like I said, I just want to do the right thing (even though it was not the right thing to drive without the insurance to begin with.)
