A: No, that is not correct. That ticket is a 3-point violation. Also, if the ticket was issued as the result of an accident, even if you are be able to pay it online, Georgia law still requires you to show up for your court date.

A: No, this is incorrect. This violation is 3 points and would appear on your driving record if you have a Georgia driver's license and just pay the fine.
A: As the prosecutor to make it a county ordinance violation so you will not have points on your records.
