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.

Failure to come to a complete stop at a stop sign in Georgia is a serious traffic offense mainly because of the points that get added to your license or driving record. A conviction for this violation adds 3 points to your driver’s license. This point addition is particularly concerning because getting 15 points within a 24-month period can mean license suspension. Other conviction penalties include fines and increased car insurance rates.

Impeding the Flow of Traffic in Georgia | Slow Poke Law

Published on: December 22, 2024 | Kohn & Yager LLC

In Georgia, the legal definition of impeding the flow of traffic is outlined in the state’s slow poke traffic laws, specifically under O.C.G.A. § 40-6-184: No person shall drive a motor vehicle at such a slow speed as to impede the normal and reasonable movement of traffic.

Impeding the flow of traffic is also known as the Georgia Slow Poke law. It is meant to deter people from driving too slow in the left hand lane and cause a dangerous traffic condition.
This law, also known as the “Slow Poke” law, was introduced in 2014 to improve traffic congestion and reduce accidents. Minimum speed limits are enforced especially on I-285, I-85, I-75, and Georgia 400.

Impeding traffic can be demonstrated by actions such as driving slowly and forcing other traffic to maneuver around, even if traffic is not completely stopped. For instance, slowing down and stopping at a green light on a busy highway can be considered impeding traffic if it interferes with the normal flow of traffic.

Not following traffic signs is a common problem in Georgia. It can lead to fines, points on your license, and higher insurance rates. This offense covers disobeying traffic lights, stop signs, and other official road signs or signals.

If you receive a traffic ticket, hiring a lawyer such as ex-cop Cory Yager or top-rated criminal defense lawyer in Atlanta Larry Kohn will work to reduce the penalties. This is especially true if you have a clean driving record in Georgia.

In Georgia, not following traffic signals, signs, or markings on roads is against the law. A police officer typically classifies this offense as a misdemeanor traffic violation when they observe and cite it. If caught by a red light camera, it may be a civil offense instead of a criminal one. Common examples include running red lights, not stopping at stop signs, ignoring turn restriction signs, and not yielding at flashing signals.
