I got cited for failure to produce insurance after a fender bender. Will I go to jail if unable to provide insurance on a clean driving record? I'm no longer driving that said car.

Most likely, no, but you will need to provide proof of insurance to the court on whatever vehicle you are driving.
Criminal summons was for a car accident where my ex had cancelled the insurance policy on me shortly after the wreck so that it didn’t count on her insurance and I would get stuck with everything.
