A: As long as you can provide proof of valid insurance from the time of the stop, that ticket should be dismissed. The speeding ticket for 18 over the limit is a petty offense. If it is your first moving violation, if you plead guilty, you would likely be placed on a period of court supervision and a fine to be determined by the judge.

A: Typically, a person who gets a first time speeding ticket can get court supervision to keep it from counting against your 3 tickets for a driver's license suspension. It will likely cost $300 ish for that benefit. Otherwise u pay the ticket and the fine on the back. Your no insurance ticket is likely to be dismissed.
