A: A couple of years ago? If you resolved the case years ago, it is too late to re-open this case. But is unclear from your question - is the case still pending?

Tim Akpinar agrees with this answer

A: If pulled over a couple years ago, is the charge still pending? Putting to one side that question for now, Minnesota's "proof of insurance" statute applies to the driver, even if the driver is not the owner. But a person facing this charge should always go to court to try to prevent a conviction, since a conviction for no insurance triggers at least a 30 day license revocation.
