Speeding In Georgia under 21?

Question

I Got a speeding ticket in Georgia going 72 in a 45 = 27 over the limit. My court date is in like 2 weeks, I have already attended a State defensive driving course. This was my first driving offense I'm scared to death of getting my license suspended.

I'm a full time commuter college student and I drive a significant distance to work. I understand how wrong and dangerous speeding was. I'm not posting this question so that someone can tell me I deserve to have my license suspended. I understand that by law my license will be suspended when I go to court.

I'm looking for any suggestions on how I can possibly save my license from being suspended.

Again I'm looking for help, not condemnation, I already feel horrible anyway.

P.S. I cannot afford a lawyer

Answer 1

Since Georgia is very tough on speeding your best bet would be to talk with a lawyer and get his or her advice........

I did read your question and there are some lawyers that will set up a payment plan to help people out......

Answer 2

It will be up to the judge to decide if your license gets suspended or not and they don't generally do it on a first offense unless they just want to be a hard ***.

If the judge asks you any questions,answer them truthfully,apologize for speeding and take what ever you get.

If your license gets suspended,you may be able to get a hardship license until your license is returned to you.

It will let you drive (with restrictions) like necessary driving,but not running around .

Answer 3

Yes  you might be able to get a  hardship license but I hope they take it awhile so you learn to slow down,.
