Atlanta, GA asked in Traffic Tickets for Georgia

Q: Why 40-6-48 and 40-6-50 are ticketed together for one case?

I was caught by an officer while I was driving down a hill between the highway ramps. The highway and the ramp where I was driving were trapped by terrible traffic jams. I saw a smooth running roadway down a hill and there were several cars driving down the hill in front of me. I have followed them, but only the last two cars were caught by the officer, and he ticketed the two cases for that single violation. My court date is scheduled in two days. Will I be able to request 'nolo' for both cases or just for one? Please provide any further information as well. Thank you.

A: If both charges are consolidated into a single case, you can use a nolo plea to resolve the entire case.

You may not want or need to plead nolo, though, depending on your exact circumstances. You should consult with a traffic attorney for your best course of action.
