Hall County Speeding Ticket

My wife got hit with Laser from a Hall County deputy.

83 in 65 on the 4-lane near Road Atlanta

We live in NC. Just wondering how things work there regarding pleas / reductions, and the reciprocity with NC for insurance and license points.

I will get an attorney if necessary, but I know some places will let you plea without spending the $300.

Good attorney recommendations appreciated none-the-less, for consultation purposes.

Thanks

 

I'd find out for sure, if they report. If not, put your CC away and never, ever, under any circumstances return to Ga.

 

Are you aware of the state fine you will be receivng in the mail in addition to the ticket?

 

Oh that's right. 83 qualifies for the special bonus performance driving award.

 

Interstate or any 4 lane? If so he missed it by this much.

 

Enlighten me, please...
I know there will be a fine and court costs related to the convicted offense - are you saying there is something else in GA as well?

 

Mongo is correct. Had you been nailed for 85 on a 4 lane or 75 on a two lane they would have tacked another $200 to the fine.


(and the two lane is for one lane going in either direction. apparently you could technically not be hit with the fine on a one way street.)

 

Thanks for the enlightenment. Guess she was lucky there.

Happened about 10 miles above Gainesville on 365 - moto cop hidden behind a treeline along the roadside, with a gap just big enough to shoot his LIDAR gun through...

 

So, *nobody* here has any experience with the Hall County legal system?

That's hard to believe...

 

We know better than to speed in Hall County

 

Georgia Ticket - Out of State License
Georgia will report your speeding ticket back to your home state and it will be posted to your driving record and treated just as if the ticket was issued in your home state. Some states do not enter minor out of state speeding tickets so check with your DMV to be certain what effect the Georgia ticket will have on your license before you just send in your money.

For example a 15mph+ ticket in Georgia will earn a North Carolina driver a 30 day suspension of their drivers license.

Yeah, I knew about the 15 over suspension. Thanks for the links.

I'm really looking toward getting the charge reduced to something less painful, and need recommendations on good attorneys in the area.

 

I have experience with Hall County legal system... It sucks. Beg to get them to drop it to 80, which they may do. But, they are going to try to milk you for as much money as possible. Atleast, these have been my experiences with them. You should be happy it wasn't Oakwood police!

 

I don't know him personally but there is one recommended on the site in the first link

 

whats the deputys name?

 

Officer: Cobb
Badge: 4308

 

i thought the "special" fine only applied to residents of GA
