Quite frankly, in all likelihood law enforcement or tow companies will not mess with this----you really need to get the school to enforce and take action against the offender.
DMV keeps telling me under the liability compulsory laws I am expected to have insurance even if my vehicle is in storage. But isn't that if vehicle was involved in an accident?

No unless wheels removed and up on blocks (immobilized) you must have insurance. If unauthorized driver was ticketed for a moving violation, you will also have your license suspended until you sell the car or you get insurance.
The law says I am not responsible for an unauthorized driver but DMV insist that I'm responsible for it not having insurance

That would probably depend on whether Support Enforcement submitted your name for suspension of licenses as a result of the arrearage. If so, you would probably speak with to your caseworker to try and make satisfactory payment arrangements to lift the suspension.

I called to ask about more time to pay a speeding ticket. They told me show up to court and they will give me more time. But they changed the court dat from tomorrow to a day next week. I can't go next week I will be out of town for work. What can I do?
answered on Jan 7, 2021
(1) You can pay your ticket before the court date if you do not plan to contest the ticket (unless a required court appearance offense).
(2) You can hire an attorney to represent you. That attorney could appear on your behalf and enter a plea. You would not have to be present.... View More
