    You are stuck. Ignorance of the law is no defense.

    Hopefully your friend will be a true friend and accept at least partial, if not all monetary responsibility for your ticket.

    Tough lesson. Who would have thought...

    If you're driving a vehicle that doesn't have proof of insurance within it, you're breaking the law in many states. You're lucky you only got a ticket.

    As a side issue, your friend should reimburse you for at least half the insurance part of the ticket and for all of the no-plate part of the ticket.
