It's not a slap on the wrist. Believe me, you don't want to do it.

The fine for driving without insurance is either $5000 or $10000, I can't remember which one. Plus you are barred from driving for a certain number of years afterwards. Plus when you finally are alowed to drive again, the insurance companies treat you like they treat former DUI's, and you end up paying the maximum rate.

I was in traffic court a few months ago and watched a kid get the book thrown at him for driving without insurance.

I'm not sure what the penalty for driving with just your G1 is. It's probably not as severe as it is for driving without insurance, but it still might be fairly severe.

I think some guy said it was a $5700 fine, but I was pretty shocked at that number.

One trick that you can use, if you're a moran, is signing up for insurance for a year, making sure that the cancellation charges aren't huge, then cancelling after a month. You get your doco that states taht you have insurance for a year, and there's no way a patrolman can determine that you haven't paid in the last 6 months, AFAIK anyways.
