I live in New Hampshire and happened to be traveling in Maine at the time of the incident. I got pulled over for speeding by a Maine state trooper. He gave me the ticket and also wrote me up for $171 for no proof of insurance so he verbally said. On my hand written ticket he checked off inspection sticker as if my truck wasnt inspected and wrote $171 on the same inspection sticker violation line. Now my truck has been inspected for 8 months when i received the ticket. So i payed the speeding ticket and contested the $171.
I got a letter in the mail from Maine stating my court date and at the top written in capitol letters Offense: failure to produce evidence of insurance. In my state of NH you do not have to have insurance to drive a vehicle but in Maine you do. So am i not supposed to travel in maine if i dont have insurance and im a NH resident? Even though i do have insurance and had it at the time of being pulled over but did not have my insurance card on me. Can i still be fined for this even though my vehicle is registered to NH? My court dates on the 22 Dec so any help or advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
