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.

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... -- Billy D'Augustine azog@spatula.rent.com Evil walks behind me.
