Driving without a license is a serious offense. Consult with a criminal defense lawyer, like myself, before going to court. Most will give you a free consultation.
Re: traffic
The state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you were driving and that you were unlicensed. This case needs more analysis, but on the facts you have given I think you have a good case. You should definitely get a lawyer to help you try and win the case, because this charge carries 60 days jail, $500 fine and 5 points.
