I cannot tell you exactly what to expect in court but you may want to contact the clerk of the court to check what may happen there or an attorney familiar with court procedure. I can give you information about what penalties you may be facing.
If you are unable to provide proof of insurance, therefore driving without insurance, you may be found guilty of a civil infraction. The court may order your license suspended for thirty days or until you can show proof of no-fault coverage on your car. You may also be fined up to $500, put in jail for a year or both.
