Each moving violation in Georgia is considered a criminal misdemeanor, Georgia’s Courts take traffic tickets, fines, court appearances, and anything related to a ticket very seriously! Traffic laws vary from state to state but just paying a speeding ticket or any other moving violation in Georgia can result in any of the following:
- Insurance rate increases, how much your rates go up depends on your driving record, the violations, and your carrier.
- Fines that are over and above the original ticket fine.
- Court costs in addition to fines.
- Points that will be on your driving record and accumulate.
- Probation if the full amount cannot be paid off immediately.
- The actual violation/charge will stay on your record exactly as it says on the ticket
- If your speed designated you as a Super Speeder, you will receive an additional fine of $200 around 2 weeks after you pay the original ticket. This comes as a surprise to many drivers.
- If the violation shows up on your driving record and it’s very negative, a potential or current employer could pull the record.
