Expired J1 Visa - Driving without a license ticket

[Ranma 0]

Hello Everyone

My name is Luis, I came from Ecuador 4 years ago and i overstayed my J1 Visa, I'm currently living in Redondo Beach, CA with my fiancée, so far I've tried to abide by the law (expect the returning to my country bit). I used to take the bus to go from my apt to work all the time since i couldn't get a Driver's License but when the economy when to hell and i got laid off my last job, I wasn't able to find anything near where i lived so i had to look further away, ended up finding a nice job in Santa Monica and about a year ago I started driving (without a license), Long story short about a month ago I crashed my motorcycle on the freeway, I broke my right clavicle and right ankle and no one else was involved in the accident, CHP (California Highway Patrol) showed up and they gave me a ticket for driving without a license and impounded my motorcycle. Now I'm hiring a lawyer to show up in court (since i have a court appearance) to take care of that. Since I was in the ER and had to have General Anesthesia (There's always a chance you might not wake up from it). I proposed to my former gf and now current fiancée, we are getting married in August 7th and after that i will start doing all my paperwork to adjust my status and obtain a Green Card. Now there comes a problem about my driving without a license ticket

I searched through all the forums and this is the closest i could find to my situation

In summary my question is. Do I have to report this on my forms as a crime or not? I was never arrested only given a ticket.
