In Georgia, a driver is given multiple chances before his license is suspended due to traffic violations. The reason that Georgia has the point system is to identify dangerous, frequent, and negligent drivers. Safe drivers who made one mistake should not be overly punished for their actions.
Traffic violation points accumulate over different periods of time. There are different levels of suspension based on how many points you collect during varying time periods. If you acquire too many points, you can have your license revoked. However, you can reduce your points (by up to seven points) every five years. Georgia has a point reduction plan where drivers can perform a certified six-hour defensive driving course. Completion of this course leads to a reduction in points and can be the difference between having your license suspended and maintaining your legal right to drive.
If you’re a considerate driver and make an honest mistake, the system is forgiving. If you’re an irresponsible, risky, and unlawful repeat offender, you will have to accept consequences of your actions.
If you have accumulated points for multiple traffic violations, you may need legal guidance to protect your rights.
