In Massachusetts, driving with no insurance and without a license are criminal infractions. Typically, the citation would first go to a clerk magistrate to determine whether there is probable cause to advance the complaint. If it is dismissed at the clerk level, the case would not show on your criminal record. If the case goes to an arraignment, it may be possible to have the matter dismissed on court costs, or it may require more action. Each case is fact specific.
At this time, you should speak with a lawyer to determine how to proceed.
