It will depend what all your daughter was cited for as to what penalties she will face. If she was found to be driving uninsured and without a license and was at-fault in an accident her penalties might be harsh.
In Kentucky, for a first violation of driving uninsured you must go to court and be imprisoned for not more than ninety days and can be fined between $500 to $1000 or both. Your Kentucky license plates and motor vehicle registration can be suspended for 1 year or until proof of auto insurance is presented. You also could lose your drivers license for up to 1 year.
To verify for sure what penalties she will be facing, if your daughter was cited for the above violations, she can call the court listed on her ticket and also check with the GA Department of Motor Vehicles.
