Tickets in Georgia

General information. The ticket in your hand has its own court date and options.

  1. Paying = pleading

    Paying a Georgia ticket is generally treated as a guilty (or no-contest) plea, and the conviction and points go on your record.

  2. Points

    Adult drivers who reach 15 points in 24 months face a license suspension.

    Georgia DDS point system
  3. Super Speeder

    85 mph or more anywhere, or 75 or more on a two-lane road, adds a $200 state fee on top of the local fine.
