Q: Pulled over for speeding. Written a ticket for no insurance. Showed him my insurance. Told to send it in and fight it.
The officer took my ID and returned to his car while I looked up my insurance info. He returned with a ticket for speeding and no proof of insurance. I showed him proof of insurance. He said he couldn't remove the ticket because it would be more work and I needed to send the proof in. Obviously, I will do this and won't pay the fine, but this seems wrong. Could this delegitimize the speeding ticket?
A: No, it does not de-legitimize the speeding ticket. The two issues are completely unrelated. There may be a legal issue with the speeding ticket, but this is not that issue.
