Traffic Violations & Driving Offenses

Driving offenses can be charged as a felony or a misdemeanor depending on the circumstances and whether you have previous violations. Punishments for traffic violatiosn can vary and typically include large fines, jail time, and/or suspension of your driver’s license. In cases such as drug possession or drag racing, the State of Georgia may also take possession of your vehicle.

Something as simple as a traffic stop can end up in felony or misdemeanor charges if drugs, weapons (loaded or concealed), open alcohol, or other illegal items are found in the vehicle.
