A: Receiving a ticket under section 40-6-123(a) in Georgia relates to improper lane changes or failing to signal when changing lanes. This section does carry points on your driving record. Specifically, a violation of this section can add three points to your record.

Points on your driving record can impact your insurance rates and, if accumulated, can lead to the suspension of your driver's license. It's essential to address this ticket promptly to understand your options, which might include paying the fine, contesting the ticket, or attending a defensive driving course to reduce points.

You might want to consult with a legal professional to explore the best course of action based on your situation. Ignoring the ticket can lead to additional penalties and complications, so taking timely action is crucial.
