Reckless driving in Georgia can be either a serious misdemeanor, or even charged as a felony. Reckless driving is one of the few “serious” misdemeanor offenses in the state criminal code. But any of these “serious” driving crimes can be the basis for a prosecutor adding very serious felony charges, when another person is injured by your reckless driving (passenger, another driver, or a pedestrian).

Atlanta DUI lawyer Cory Yager and his law partner Larry Kohn have handled many drunk driving reduced to reckless driving misdemeanor cases over two decades. An arrest is not a conviction!

Why License Points Matter So Much in Georgia

The Georgia DDS (Department of Driver Services) uses a “15 points in 24 months” license suspension points system for adult drivers, and a 4‑point suspension rule for drivers under 21. If you get convicted of speeding for example 3 points or more will be added to your driving record. These demerit points will fall off in 24 months, but if you reach 15 total points in that 2-year window your license will be suspended. That is why it is so important to hire one of our traffic ticket lawyers any time you get a citation in Fulton, Gwinnett, Forsyth, or Cobb County.
