Georgia Driver License Suspensions

There are a number of infractions/situations that can cause you to lose or restrict your Georgia driving privileges.

With respect to points, a Georgia driver license will be suspended for accumulation of 15 points within a 24-month period. A license might also be suspended for committing one or more of a list of particularly serious violation.

Drivers under 21 years old can have their license suspended for being convicted of just one four-point offense.

Suspension, cancellation, or revocation of your license can do damage beyond merely keeping you off the road. An insurance carrier may raise your insurance rates or even cancel your policy in some cases.

If you are suspended in Georgia or possibly about to be suspended you might want to consider a consultation with one of our attorneys.


About Georgia*

The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) plans, constructs, and maintains Georgia's network of highways and bridges, while providing planning and financial support for other transportation systems (airports, mass transit, bicycles…). The department had approximately 5,700 employees and a budget of $2.1 billion in 2008.

GDOT is responsible for development of NaviGAtor, an "intelligent transportation system" (ITS) developed to minimize congestion and improve safety on urban expressways. In the late 1980's, Georgia began discussing the concept of ITS to maximize the efficiency of current and future transportation systems. Atlanta's winning bid for the 1996 Olympics caused an early start and January 1996 marked the introduction of NAVIGATOR. Video monitors and detectors are strategically placed on roadways throughout the state and deliver real time updates to changeable signs on the roadways. There is also a free cellular service to alert travelers directly.

As of 2007, Georgia's transportation system included 117,238 miles of public roads, including 84,559 miles of county roads, 18,095 miles of state highway, 14,584 miles of city streets, and 1,244 miles of interstate highways. To maintain those roadways, GDOT receives the proceeds from the state's motor vehicle fuel tax and state appropriations, as well as funds from the U.S. Department of Transportation.
