As an Alpharetta traffic violation lawyer, I regularly help clients facing the same situation. Assuming that you do not carry insurance on your vehicle, you could be facing very stiff penalties including include fines, loss of driving privileges, loss of registration, impoundment of your vehicle, and even jail time.
Even one of these penalties can change your life in ways that make it much more difficult, if not impossible, to continue to work and pay the bills.
In the state of Georgia, you are required to carry accident liability insurance for each vehicle you own. This insurance must provide a minimum of $25,000 per person for bodily injuries, $50,000 for the bodily injuries of two or more people, and $25,000 for damage to property. Known as the 25/50/25 rule, it is fairly easy to understand.
However, this minimum requirement does not cover damage to your own vehicle, any injuries you may sustain, or damage to your own property. Because of this, many people opt for a more comprehensive insurance policy.
With that said, if this is your first violation and there was no accident, you might be able to avoid some of the penalties for driving without insurance in Georgia. If you have been convicted before, you will certainly be facing punishment that is much more serious.
Either way, as an Alpharetta traffic violation attorney, I would advise you to give me a call and see exactly what your options are as you go forward.
