I recently spoke with a client who was ticketed after an accident for failure to maintain lane. This particular client was attempting to make a left turn at an intersection when his vehicle crossed the solid white line he was attempting to move his vehicle into the far left lane. His vehicle was struck from behind by another vehicle. The responding law-enforcement officer cited my client for failure to maintain lane.
The Georgia traffic code states that your vehicle must maintain itself with in a lane that is marked by two solid white lines or two solid yellow lines. Failing to maintain your vehicle with in these lines, may result in you being cited for failure to maintain lane.
There is often a desire to move from one left turn lane to the other because of the number of cars in a specific lane. In doing so, a driver violates the Georgia code and will be cited if this is observed or if this causes an accident.

- Attorney Scott recently represented me and my mother both for traffic ticket charges. In both cases he got my mothers charge and my charge dismissed. He is a wonderful attorney and also a wonderful person. I can’t recommend him enough! Regina: Marietta, GA.
- I was moving along with the speed of traffic when I was pulled over. I was frightened, this was my first ticket ever. The police officer gave me a super speeder ticket. Attorney Miller got my speed reduced and my ticket dismissed. Hooray Attorney Miller, I will refer all my friends and family to you! Roeween: Buford GA.
- I was arrested for street racing in Alpharetta. Scott had helped me previously with a speeding ticket I called Attorney Miller when I was released from jail. Scott worked with the court and got my charge reduced. I had to pay a fine and go to traffic school. Simon
