TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS
Distracted Driving
On a daily basis, there are multiple accidents that occur on the highways and streets due to distracted driving. These types of car crashes are becoming more and more common in the Metro Atlanta area. Accident reports have revealed texting while driving has caused major increases in auto accidents. There are proven studies that show that accidents can happen if you simply take your eyes off the road for 3 seconds. The most common type of auto accident that results from distracted drivers is the rear end collision.
“Hands-Free” Driving
The new Georgia “Hands-Free” Law has begun to address the growing serious issue of accidents caused by drivers who are preoccupied because they are using their cell phones. Motor vehicle accidents involving the usage of cell phones are becoming more and more common. These accidents often result in many individuals receiving long-term injuries.
Speeding
Speeding Did you receive a speeding ticket while traveling in Georgia?
Your first thought may be to just pay the fine and be done. Paying your speeding ticket fine is the same as pleading guilty. A guilty plea can result in points being added against your driver’s license or even increased insurance premiums. The number of points you receive for each speeding ticket conviction is listed here:
15 to 18 mph over: 2 points
19 to 23 mph over: 3 points
24 to 33 mph over: 4 points
34 mph over: 6 points
If you are convicted of going 85 miles per hour or more on any road or highway in GA or 75 miles per hour or more on any 2 lane road, then you will receive a Super Speeder fine from the state of GA. Super Speeder fines are an average of $200 per offense. Call the firm today to discuss your speeding violation and how we can help you get the best results.
Suspended/Revoked License
In GA, license suspension happens for a number of reasons:
• DUI convictions
• Driving with a suspended license
• Failure to appear in court or failure to respond to a traffic ticket
• Driving without insurance
• Accumulating 15 or more points in a 24-month period
• Being convicted of violating the GA controlled substances act
