Most likely in your state of residence you will lose your driver's license for not having automobile insurance as required and will be unable to drive legally until any judgment against you is paid in full. A bankruptcy filing may discharge the debt but will not allow you to get your driver's license legally. I suggest that you consult with an attorney experienced in automobile liability law in your locality. One can be found via attorneypages.com.
