What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Minnesota
Hi, I was pulled over about a year ago for having an air refresher on my rear view mirror. He let me go with a warning but unfortunately all I had was a temporary insurance card that was out of date, but I did have insurance under my parents' name at the time.
I was cited but the officer told me that if I showed my insurance card within 30 days I would be OK. I sent in a copy of my insurance information via mail but was returned stating that I must come in in person with the card. I set it aside to do it later but forgot.
Fast forward one year and I spontaneously remembered that I have forgotten to do so, and realized I've been driving with a suspended license (checked with the DMV license check website) for a year, but was lucky enough to not get caught. Now I am totally scared out of my pants what will happen to me. The law states that imprisonment and fine due to misdemeanor could result.
I am 24, and have only gotten one speeding ticket going 80 in a 65 mi/hr zone prior to this incident but other than that I have a clean record. What should I do? If I go to the DMV could I get arrested on the spot for confessing?
