Traffic Offense -First Time (Need Advice)

Location: Kentucky

I have recently gotten pulled over for a suspended registration, which I didn't know was suspended. I've been working to get my car switched over to KY for nearly two years.

When I got pulled over, I got a violation for an unregistered car, and they took my plates and did not tow my car, so I got my own tow. But I am working to get my car registered right now, there is no amount on my ticket, and I don't know what to do.

This is my first unregistered traffic offense, but I have received a speeding ticket in the past.

Any advice?

I have no money for a lawyer, and have also been applying to jobs, + have no income at the moment. Additionally, I am a student, and wonder if I could get expelled? Will I be going to jail? Idk what the process is here...

Any help would be great.
