I wish I had a case to stand on, Pythos. Unfortunately, that's exactly how things work here in Georgia. I was in the initial holding tank with three other guys in the exact same situation. Some insurance company glitch or letting their car registration expire before renewal suspends your driver's license, and there is no policy or law in the state of GA that says they have to notify you. You have to check regularly with the DMV to verify that its still legal for you to drive, and if its not, you sometimes have to pay a fee of up to $200 to get in reinstated. Its absurd. If you get a nice cop, sometimes they'll just write you a ticket and impound your vehicle, but I got the bigoted one who took me for a freak and decided I needed to go downtown so I could be "straightened out".
