Driver's License Suspension in Atlanta

Atlanta Traffic Ticket Lawyer

Losing your license is more than just an inconvenience. It may seriously impact your ability to get to and from work or school and may mean that you will need to rely on friends, family or public transportation to get wherever you need to go. On this page, you will find helpful information about driver's license suspension by the Georgia Department of Driver Services and how an experienced Atlanta traffic ticket lawyer can assist you.

Grounds for Mandatory License Suspension

The DDS may suspend a license if a driver is convicted of any of the following offenses in Georgia or in any other state:

• Vehicular homicide
• DUI
• Any felony committed using a motor vehicle
• Fleeing or eluding a police officer in a motor vehicle
• Racing
• Hit and run / leaving the scene of an accident
• Driver's license fraud
• Refusal of a breath or blood test after a drunk driving arrest
• Driving on a suspended license
• Driving without a license
• Driving a vehicle without proper registration
• Driving without insurance
• Failure to appear in court
• Marijuana possession, cultivation, distribution or sale

The Department may also suspend a driver's license if he or she has accumulated 15 points on his or her driving record within a 24-month time period. Points may be assessed for virtually any type of traffic violation, from a speeding ticket to improper passing.

Fortunately, if your license was suspended by the DDS you may be able to challenge the suspension or seek a limited driving permit that would enable you to drive for certain purposes related to work or school. An Atlanta traffic ticket lawyer can help you understand your options and can then take the appropriate action to help you with this matter.
