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.

Does GA Accept Foreign Driver’s Licenses?

idp1-700x357Can you legally drive in GA with only a driver’s license from another country? Every year thousands of people from other countries come to GA to attend schools, work, or visit. Many of them are here on visas and do not intend to become residents of GA. Fortunately, GA recognizes driver’s licenses from other countries (with certain limitations).For foreign drivers to be able to legally drive in GA, the license from their home country must be unexpired. If the foreign license is in a language other than English, the foreign driver must have an International Driver’s Permit (IDP) on their person while driving along with their foreign country driver’s license. A foreign driver can drive with a foreign driver’s license plus an IDP if necessary for up to one year in GA, unless the foreigner intends to become a GA resident. If the foreigner will be staying in GA longer than one year, then they should apply for a GA driver’s license at the Department of Driver Services (DDS).Sometimes foreigners who are in GA for less than one year will apply for a GA driver’s license even if they don’t need to. I have seen many instances of DDS mistakenly issuing a Class CP license (or learner’s permit) to a foreign driver instead of a Class C license. Learner’s permits have been mistakenly given to foreign drivers even after they passed their written and road tests. This may be due to a language barrier or human error. The foreign driver is at risk of receiving a ticket for driving with a learner’s permit (O.C.G.A. §40-5-24) if this were to happen. The penalties of driving on a learner’s permit can be harsh and can include steep fines and license suspension.If you received a ticket for “driving without a license” or for “driving on a learner’s permit”, please give The Kimbrel Law Firm, LLC a call today. We may be able to help you beat the charges.If you are a GA resident and need to obtain an IDPt to drive in another country, you can obtain one through AAA. If you are from another country and need to obtain an IDP, please contact the motor vehicle department of the country that issued your driver’s license.

Atlanta Municipal Court’s “PTIT” Program

060515-municipal-court-ba01What is PTIT? Did you get a ticket in the city of Atlanta? Some tickets qualify for Atlanta Municipal Court’s PTIT program. PTIT stands for “Pre-Trial Intervention – Traffic”. Atlanta Municipal Court developed the PTIT program to handle the large number of cases they deal with. If a case qualifies for PTIT, the defendant has the option to avoid arraignment and trial. PTIT typically involves a fine or a defensive driving course. Once the defendant completes the requirements, the case is dismissed and does not appear on the defendant’s record.A defendant can only utilize the PTIT program once in a 12 month period. A defendant must be over the age of 21 to participate. Certain traffic offenses are excluded from the PTIT program. Defendants with CDL licenses are not allowed to participate in the PTIT program.Some defendants have found participation in the PTIT program to be intimidating. You can read about their experience at Creative Loafing. You may want to speak with an attorney to see if PTIT is the right choice for you.If you are unable to attend court in the city of Atlanta, and would like for one of our attorneys to see if you qualify for the PTIT program, please give us a call. We offer low rates for Atlanta Municipal Court cases that qualify for the PTIT program.
