I have a friend in Virginia who was pulled over and given a ticket for driving with a suspended license. As it turns out, her insurance company "AllState" neglected to send required paperwork to the DMV back in January. AllState admits this in writing. So, she has been driving un a suspended license for months without knowing. Afterall, she has been paying the insurance bills and AllState's records show her as having a valid license.

The question is: Is there a way to make this all go away before her court date (talk with the officer - can he do anything to help?). Yes, she could wait and explain it to the judge, but it remains a dark cloud, until that date. Further, it is in the DMV records now. Even if the judge tosses it out of court, how does it get removed from the DMV records (otherwise insurance becomes $$$$).

Thx.
