Traffic Violations

A traffic violation, or traffic offense, is when a person disobeys state issued road and driving laws.  Frequently committed traffic offenses include: speeding, reckless driving, possessing an open container, violation of child safety restraint, driving too fast for conditions, driving with a suspended license, driving with invalid license plates, and driving without motor vehicle insurance.

In Georgia, every time a person commits a traffic violation, he/she accrues points on his/her driving record.  The more severe the traffic violation is, the more points the person will accumulate.  A person is only allowed to accrue 15 points within a 24 month period.  If the person accrues more than 15 points in a 24 month period, his/her driver’s license and driving privileges can be suspended for up to 6 months.

When a person commits a traffic violation, he/she will be issued with a citation from law enforcement.  After a person has been issued a citation, he/she will usually have to pay a fine.  If the person fails to pay his/her fine on time, he/she may be subject to further legal action.
