Hmm... as far as I know, there is no "routine road block", this is not a Gasa strip.

However, if you had no other issues with the law at the time, and were not drunk (why would you then post in DUI section?), I would recommend going to DMV, and asking them if your GA license was valid at the time of the stop. I am surprized it was not, because they typically do not cancel the license until new one is issued and valid. This does not excuse you not having valid license on you, but can help in resolving the problems you have now.

Did you go to the DMV to get your new license? Or at least apply for one? They should have given you a temp one (paper form)...
