Legal Question in Traffic Law in Illinois

I was just given a ticket for not being able to provide proof of insurance. When I came home to look up my policy and print out proof so I would have a copy with me from now on, I would out my policy had been cancelled. I immediately reinstated it but am wondering if that will cover me for the ticket or help at all to get it thrown out?

IN MANY JURISDICTIONS THE STATE'S ATTORNEY WILL ACCEPT PROOF OF AFTER-ACQUIRED INSURANCE IN NEGOTIATNG A PLEA BARGAIN THAT AVOIDS A CONVICITON ON THE ORIGNINAL CHARGE. IT ALL DEPENDS UPON WHAT COURT YOU ARE IN AND WHO THE PROSECUTOR IS. IT WOULD NOT HURT TO HIRE AN ATTORNEY TO REPRESENT YOU.
