BAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! 

Excuse me! :-) I cant help but laugh.

You see. April 1 of 1992, I was wondering that same such question. I found
out pretty hard.

First, minimun 1 years loss of license. Next, about $300 or more in fines
(mine was just under $400, including $25 for expired inspection). And
finally, some sort of community service. For me that was 24 hours at 
the local hospital. Thats 4 saturdays at 7 hours a day

Lastly, and this point I dont know exact, is a surcharge. I paid $30
to reinstate my license April 1 1993, but dont know what the surcharge
will be. For instance, DWI is $1000/3 years, so Im guessing about
$350 or towards that effect.

Now. The 1 year loss is mandatory. Dunno about the fine and service,
I think thats up to the judge. The surcharge is mandatory also, but
talk to me April 2 1993 and Ill let you know :-)

Next. If you dont get caught, and you do get in an accident, leave
the country. Europe sounds good. Why? I cant say for sure, but jail
time is a definate. God help you if the person is injured, or dies.
Most likely youll be charged with manslaughter/murder or attempted
thereof.

If you are driving without insurance, the only thing I can say is:
DONT! Go out right NOW and get it. I dont care if you dont have
money (as my situation was, but I could have gotten money if it
wasnt for pride stopping me from asking). If you dont get insurance,
Ill met you on the Morris County Metro Bus Line, route #10. And
let me tell you, there are some very disturbing people who ride
the buss...
