Fighting client's speeding and reckless driving in Alpharetta: Wednesday, February 20, 2019: I accompanied my client to Alpharetta Municipal Court to fight his super speeder and reckless driving tickets. My client had been given a super speeder ticket for traveling 103 mph in a 65 mph zone, and he was arrested for reckless driving. This reckless driving charge was his second in two years. Georgia code 40 – 6–189 reads that anyone driving over 85 mph on any Georgia Road will be charged with a super speeder ticket and fined an additional $200 by the state, in addition to other fees and penalties. Failure to pay this fine within 90 days will result in suspension of driving privileges, and an additional $50 will be assessed. Reckless driving: Georgia code 40 –6–390 reads that a person who is convicted of driving any vehicle in a reckless disregard for the safety of persons and property shall be guilty of reckless driving. Reckless driving is a misdemeanor crime in the state of Georgia. After lengthy negotiation with the prosecutor, I was able to get the court to agree to reduce my client’s speed to 79 mph in a 65 mph zone. This is now 14 mph over the limit and becomes non-reportable to the Georgia Department of drivers records. I was also able to negotiate a hold and clear on the reckless driving charge. My client will have to complete 25 hours of community service, pay a fine of $1000 plus court costs, and complete a defensive driving class. Upon completion of all of the above, my client’s case will be closed and his arrest restricted.
