Driving without insurance
I was pulled over for driving without insurance in August this year (just gone midnight). Short story is, I had no insurance - fine I understand I'll be found guilty. Long story is - my mother had been in intensive care on life support and I was told she would die as she had suffered 4 simultaneous but seperate occurences of bleeding on the brain. She paid my car insurance for me. Whilst she was in intensive care my policy expired and I was not aware it did not automatically renew (again my fault - I should have checked - but I had more important matters on my mind at the time). I've just received a summons for magistrates court. What am I likely to receive and what is the best way to deal with this? I am 25, have 3 points for speeding 3 years ago (35 in a 30 at 02:00), have part qualifies as a driving instructor (although I am no longer pursuing that career) which means I have passed advance theory and practical tests and have never been in trouble before. Will I get a criminal record or points and a fine? I'm hoping to do a Crime Scene Science degree (or possibly a law degree) and move to the states in a few years - will this affect me? Please help, I'm so confused!

It won't be til after that (if I actually manage) to move to the States so would that still affect my Visa application? Obviously, any criminal record would be there forever - would I get one for this? I'm guessing yes?
