    Yes. The rules of engagement state that the home team calls the rules. If you are driving in Minnesota, you have to follow Missesota law. Generally, state governments hold that "ignorance of the law is no excuse." You need to be aware of, and follow, the laws that are in place wherever you are.

    I would check the specific citation on your ticket. In some states, it is a violation if you don't have proof of insurance in the car at all times. In other states, they will also charge you with driving without any insurance, so it counts as two tickets. In these states, you can get one of the two counts dismissed if you provide proof of insurance before the court date.
