Take proof of insurance and they will just give you a small fine for not having it on you at the time you were stopped. They won't take your license unless you have some type of violation such as tickets; expired license; warrants etc. If you have any of those, you will be locked up. If not, just bring your license, registration and insurance and you should just pay a small fine and they'll let you go. If you don't have all of the money they will make payment arrangements with you. Just bring some type of money with you on the 25th.
Good Luck!

No your bail money is kept if you used a Bail bondsman.
Yes take a copy of your current insurance coverage with you to court.
Be ready to pay a fine at the court
bottom line get a lawyer.

Definitely get a lawyer as most people who have a lawyer don't have to worry about as many fines.
You probably will not get your bail money back, as legally you did NOT have insurance when you were caught, and were put in jail because you were breaking the law. --However, last I checked, insurance was NOT required in GA.

It's a lot of money, but you should have bought insurance in the first place!!!!
Yes bring your proof of insurance, and they will probably be okay. But you won't get bail money back.

Check your Driver Manual for the correct information. And do take your current insurance with you. Will you get your bail money back? The judge will decide.

Wow I wish they did that in Dallas. Most of the Mexicans here drive around without insurance and then you are screwed unless you have uninsured motorists coverage... I really hate having to pay more because they are too cheap and lazy to buy insurance.

you aint getting your bail money back .......its history .......they probally will drop the charges if you show proof of valid insurance ........but you got caught driving without it and your bail is history , you commited the ''crime '' and paid the bail to get out .........if you woulda waited in jail until your hearing you would of been released with out having to pay bail .....also if you just stay in jail they probally would of let you out in the morning ......bail is gone ......next time just sit in jail ......

Yes and you should. Getting insurance after the fact doesn't change the fact that you didn't have any when you got arrested.

Get a lawyer.. most will work out a payment plan (total cost may be 1000). When it comes to your right to drive, you'll need legal help
