My response:
Sorry Edward. It makes no difference whether you drove the car 1 time, or 100 times before getting stung. The facts remain as they are. Pennsylvania, like California and New York, have very strict vehicle insurance laws, and like these States, in PA the fines and suspension are mandatory. Unless you can come up with a reason why the "Stop" was wrongful in the first place, you're stuck. You might also ask the judge for a "limited" license; that which allows you to go to and from work, only. They will set up the route you'll follow, and if you're caught anywhere from that route . . . well, it'll be the slammer for you.
