GA lawyer for help with speeding tickets Have you recently received a traffic ticket?

You need legal help sooner rather than later. Don’t blow off your ticket. Don’t pay your ticket without getting advice first. The consequences may haunt you for years.

When you’re pulled over by the police or when you have received a traffic ticket, it’s tempting to simply pay off the ticket and move on with your life.

This can be a big mistake. Retaining an Atlanta traffic ticket lawyer is strongly recommended.

If you’ve recently received a traffic ticket in Fulton County or Atlanta or elsewhere in Georgia, get help immediately.

Know Where Your Driving Record Stands Before You Take Action

Your initial reaction may be to pay the ticket, admit your guilt, and move on. Do you know the current status of your driving record, though? You may have already accumulated enough points on your driving record. If you’re close to fifteen points, pleading “nolo” on a new charge that pushes you over the limit could lead to a suspended license shortly after your court date.

In addition, your insurance company is not so much concerned with the points on your record as the actual driving offenses. Your insurance company will also treat your “nolo” pleas the same as a guilty plea, meaning they may hike your rates for even just a few points on your driving record.

This is why you need to know what’s currently on your record. Knowing where you stand can help you make an informed decision if you’re facing new traffic violations.

What Are the Penalties for Driving with a Suspended License in Georgia?

Your driver’s license can be suspended in Georgia for a number of traffic related offenses and other offenses as part of the penalty. For example, you may have your license suspended for not complying with child support or if you have gotten a number of traffic tickets and the state labels you as a habitually negligent or dangerous driver. Regardless of the reason for suspension, you must be very careful about how you proceed.

It’s best to arrange alternative transportation. You may be able to get rides from friends and family, or public transportation may be available to you. If you drive before your license has been restored, you run the risk of facing serious penalties for driving on a suspended license. Here’s what you need to know.

First Offense

If you are caught driving on a suspended license for the first time (or a subsequent time after five years has passed), you will be charged with a misdemeanor. You face a minimum jail sentence of two days, but potentially up to 12 months depending on the circumstances of the incident. You can also be ordered to pay a fine of up to $1,000, and an additional 6 month suspension will be added to your license.

Second Offense

If you are caught driving on a suspended license a second time within a five year period, you will also be charged with a misdemeanor, however, it will be likely considered aggravated. The minimum jail sentence is 10 days, but can be extended to 12 months. Your minimum fine would be $1,000, but you could be required to pay up to $2,500. You will also have 6 months added to your license suspension.

Reinstating Your License

Once your period of suspension ends, you may reinstate your license by paying a fee. Depending on why your license was suspended, there may be other requirements, such as completing a driver safety course.

When to Contact a Traffic Ticket Lawyer

Because having your license suspended has such a significant impact on your life, it’s important to have solid legal representation when your license is on the line. If you were caught driving on a suspended license, your attorney can help you form a defense designed to have the charges against you dropped or reduced depending on your unique situation.
