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.
