After years of this, can we not get a Department of Driver Services Customer Service Center opened in Butts-Mehre? Sure would cut down on the arrests, methinks.

“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

Arrested? Seriously…arrested on a suspended license? Back in my municipal prosecutor days it was dealing with these kinds of cops that eventually ran me off into private practice. I’d always pull them aside and tell them to stop wasting court time with this garbage.

From the replies to Weiszer, it actually was an expired license, not suspended, that he’s already renewed it, and that the ticket was reduced as well to just speeding.

Then why would it be reported as a suspended license? They are two different things.
A police officer arresting someone for driving on a suspended license makes sense.
A police officer arresting someone for driving on an expired license makes absolutely no sense at all.

Nothing burger. While at school, had a friend that was running late for a UGA choir concert and she got popped going 50 on Gaines School Rd. in front of the elementary school while the 25 mph school zone lights were on. Turns out she had a suspended license for an unpaid parking ticket that she never knew about because she had recently moved apartments. They escorted her to UGA so she could make her concert, so maybe Nolan should have gone hysterical and cried like she dd.

When I was in school, I got a ticket for doing 52 in a 35 school zone on my way to interview for a job with campus transit. At the end of the interview, they asked for a copy of my driver’s license, and all I had was the citation (this was back in the day when they took your license when you got a ticket). I still got the job. lol

89 in a 55 is a super speeder offense, he’s not going to have a ga drivers license for a while.
LikeLiked by 1 person
Insurance will be brutal as well. A youthful operator with a super speeder is going to make him ineligible for coverage for pretty much all standard auto insurance companies. Being in a construction zone may also push the charge up to wreckless driving which is the same as a DUI in the eyes of insurance companies.

Unless things have changed drastically in the last several years, If you can’t get a standard or non-standard carrier to cover you, you are placed in the “Assigned Risk” pool. All carriers writing business in Georgia are required to participate. Whichever carrier is next in line gets that customer. Of course there’s no limit to what they can charge!!!
