I don't see any benefit in buying a license right now. The penalties are small and I highly doubt that buying a license would have any sway on a judge in this case.
She is going to get fined no matter what she does. My guess is that a suspension is very likely as well since she lied and tried to fool the officer.
If she had just been caught without a license and she said she didn't realize she needed one then I could see a judge going easier if said person bought a license right after.
That isn't the case here though, the main case is going to be against her blatantly lying to an officer. Buying a license isn't going to help argue that case one bit and it will very possibly be throwing money away if her license is suspended.
Save the money and put it towards the fine imo.
