...But it doesn't cover getting you out if the driving violation is a D.W.I...(driving while intoxicated)...
So I ask you...
What good is that?

I suppose it comes in handy, if you run someone over while sober.

The bail bond does not cover felonies or misdemeanors.
It covers driving infractions or moving violations.
Here is the reason it is given to members:
You are driving in Georgia where they have speed traps every where. They will demand immediate payment. Now, you don't have the cash or a credit card or whatever the case may be. Turn over your bail bond card. AAA Georgia ( or whatever state you are in) pays your "bond". They bill the AAA club to which you belong. Then your club bills you. So in the end you still pay for it, but not up front like it is demanded to be paid.
It is a little card....carry it with you or in your glove box. You never know when you might need it.

The bail bond is usually the assurance or the amount decided by the judge to pay in order for that person in prison to be freed temporarily while he prepares himself/herself for defense. It is usually the 10% of total amount decided by the judge in connection with the gravity of the offense. A person detained for a certain offense against the law of society cannot be detained indefinitely, the reason why there is a bail bond, or until the suit has been filed. It is in the judgment of the judge whether to give the detained person a bail bond or not. Have you not observed that in certain cases, the judge does not give a bail bond? This is because the prevailing evidences are strong and that giving a bail bond is not proper. If in case the person does not show up or is late or does not follow the judge's advise, the bail bond will be taken and in some cases, the person in suit, is put back to jail.

In Oregon, a drunk driving violation is sufficient to identify you as a chronic alcoholic and deprive you of any right to purchase or possess firearms. And statistically a person will get away driving drunk 46 times before he is caught once. 46 years of driving, I have not been given a DUII, but have never done it. In fact I have never been behind the wheel until 4 hours after a single 12 oz beer. But yes I have walked or taken a cab home a few times. If I want to drink, I stay put to do it. But even with that I have not been even tipsy in 35 years. Besides your liver going, every time you get drunk you forever lose some brain cells. But go ahead and drink if you want. Alcoholics drop from liver failure, heart attack and stroke in their 40's and 50's, some sooner.

What about grand theft auto? There's an old lady across the street who never locks her Lincoln Town Car.

Get pulled over in a speed trap in some small town and you may find it a useful benefit.
