A: Bring proof to court. They will offer supervision. You will pay a fine and carry SR22 for three years but won’t be suspended.
Juan Ooink agrees with this answer
A: Bring the proof you have now to court with you. It is considered late compliance but with that proof you are eligible for Court Supervision. If you receive Court Supervision on this No Insurance ticket, you license will not be suspended. If you receive a conviction, your license will be suspended. Court Supervision is not considered a conviction. Please note, you are only allowed Court Supervision on a No Insurance ticket once in your lifetime, so if this is not your first, you will want to hire an attorney to assist you with this matter right away.
A: As my colleagues mentioned, as long as you obtain court supervision, which should be offered if you bring proof of after-acquired insurance, your license will not be suspended.
