Q: I was going 74 on a 45 zone, how many points will my license get? This is my first ticket.
A:
29 over the limit gets you a hefty fine, and 4 points. Depending on the roadway you were on, this may also trigger a GA super speeder ticket, which is a $200 TAX that is assessed by the State of Georgia, AFTER your traffic ticket is resolved.
Hiring a traffic lawyer, who is familiar with your court is your best bet, unless you simply have a lot of free time to deal with this. Plus, you will be unfamiliar with the many options and alternatives that a good traffic ticket lawyer can find.
Get your full driving history ready, before talking to a criminal defense attorney who specializes in traffic citations.
