Traffic Violations in Georgia

Georgia uses a points-based system where 15 points within 24 months results in license suspension. Speeding violations carry 2-6 points depending on speed over the limit, with "Super Speeder" fines ($200 additional) applying to those clocked at 85+ mph on any road or 75+ mph on two-lane roads. Traffic attorneys charge $150-$350 for standard violations. Georgia's Nolo Contendere (no contest) plea is available once every five years and prevents points from being reported, making it a valuable defense strategy. Aggressive driving is a misdemeanor in Georgia carrying up to $5,000 in fines and 12 months in jail. Hit-and-run (leaving the scene of an accident) is a felony if injuries are involved. Georgia's automated speed enforcement is limited to school zones. CDL violations carry enhanced consequences under both state and federal regulations.
