Q: I have a ticket from 15 years ago what can I do it's for no insurance
A: Call the state's attorney and ask. It is a fine of $500ish, not a jailable offense.
A: Not much if it is that long ago. The statutes that allow you to petition to vacate a conviction grant the ability to attempt to do so up to two years from the date you should have had knowledge of the conviction. If you are asking due to a failure to appear suspension by the SOS then you must pay the fines to the circuit court where the ticket was filed.
A:
Hello Asker,
As I mentioned on your reposted question, I would recommend speaking to an attorney before filing any motions on this case. Old insurance tickets are among the most dangerous to motion back into court blindly. It is very easy to do more damage to your license than good if you don't carefully examine your driving record before returning to court.
I hope that helps and let us know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Jason A. Wilkins
