Georgia Reckless Driving Lawyers
Reckless driving is a moving violation that can be difficult to define. It is for the most part any driving activity that could be deemed irresponsible or harmful to others. In Georgia, reckless driving is a criminal misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment, fines, educational courses, and license suspension through the point system.
How many points will reckless driving add to my license?
A reckless driving conviction adds 4 points to your driver’s license. This results in an automatic suspension for drivers under 21. Drivers over 21 face suspension if 15 points have been accumulated in a 24 month period.
What kind of fine is possible?
There is no minimum fine in Georgia. The maximum is $1000. But you also have to think about the consequences that may affect you outside of court if you are convicted of reckless driving. Most likely, this will add points to your driver’s license, which can cause your insurance rates to increase. Depending on the severity of your case, your insurance could even be dropped.
Can you really be locked up for reckless driving?
While there is no minimum jail time, a driver could be sentenced to jail for up to 12 months.
What affects the sentencing?
Like any other criminal act, reckless driving sentencing can be impacted by the severity of the incident and any repeat offenses. For example, swerving and speeding around cones in a construction zone or in a school zone are the two worst areas to drive recklessly. It is also important for the court to be aware of any surrounding circumstances.
And a reckless driving conviction can also result in a misdemeanor. If you’re applying for a job or filling out an application for college, you may be asked to disclose such information. You wouldn’t want to jeopardize a great opportunity over a driving violation!
It’s important to remember that a reckless driving charge in Georgia doesn’t need to have an immensely negative impact on your life. The lawyers of Head, Thomas, Webb & Willis handle traffic charges like these all the time. In many cases, we can reduce sentencing, fines, and suspensions – if not have the charges completely dropped!
