Georgia Speeding Ticket Lawyers Fight Tickets
Georgia is considered one of the worst states in which to receive a speeding ticket according to drivers who travel frequently. The state of Georgia is known for multiple speed traps along many of the major freeways. Officers ticket drivers on less traveled highways and roads in many counties as well. All speeding tickets in Georgia are considered a criminal misdemeanor by state law. Each county and city sets the fine payment for a speeding ticket, or other moving traffic violation, within that area. Fine payments vary and can range in price from $50, to over $1000. The price is determined by how much over the speed limit you were caught speeding.
