So yesterday, I was driving home from work, minding my own business, when suddenly blue lights behind me. Turns out my insurance lapsed and I had no clue. Cop gave me a ticket and now I'm kinda freaking out. Anyone been through this?

Happened to me once with my old Mustang... total headache. Did you get it sorted yet? Usually if you show proof you fixed it quick, they'll cut you some slack. Good luck!
Actually, I'd be careful assuming they'll cut you slack just because you fixed it quickly. From what I've read, some states are pretty strict about insurance lapses. Might wanna double-check your local DMV rules before counting on leniency...
Yeah, gotta agree with this. Had a similar issue last year—thought I'd be fine since I renewed insurance the next day, but DMV didn't care. Ended up with a fine and had to file an SR-22 for a while. Some states really don't mess around with insurance lapses, even short ones. Better safe than sorry, honestly... check your state's specifics before assuming anything.
Been there, done that... twice actually. Step one: breathe. Step two: get insurance ASAP. Step three: brace yourself for the DMV headache and possible SR-22 fun. Like others said, states don't mess around, unfortunately learned that the hard way myself.
