What are the set consequences for certain speeding violations in Georgia?

Question

Like if I am caught driving 30 mph over the set speed limit, what are my consequences?

Answer 1

Different municipalities have different fines for speeding. In Fulton county and cities therein, the fines are pretty big. But if you go out in to more rural and country areas, the fines are less unless there is construction going on. I have been on a Ride-Along recently and the officer that I rode with did highway duty in a roam car. If the speed limit was 65, he wouldn't grab anyone unless they were doing 83 or above. And if the offender readily admits they were speeding and apologized, then he usually wrote a warning instead of a citation. This is not to say every officer is that lenient, but in my area most of the North Precinct officers are that way.

Answer 2

They'll throw you in the slammer and you'll have stay there, in the dark 24 hours a day in a dingy hot humid cell with hungry rats for a looonnng time.

When you're finally released you'll be a outcast and no one will talk to you or rent you an apartment.

You'll end up homeless...

Seriously,

Georgia tracks incompetent drivers―or those with bad habits― through the use of a point system, like many other states. Driving is a privilege, not a right, and if you prove to be a bad, dangerous, or reckless driver, your license can be suspended for six months or more, canceled, or revoked.

Your license will be suspended if you accumulate 15 points within a 24-month period, or if you commit one or more of several different serious violations. Drivers under 21 years old can have their license suspended for being convicted of just one four-point offense.

Points are issued and accumulated in a variety of ways. Below is a sampling of common offenses and the number of points they can earn you:

    * Reckless driving: 4 points

    * Unlawfully passing a school bus: 6 points

    * Improper passing on a hill or curve: 4 points

    * Speeding (miles per hour over the speed limit):

    * 15-19 MPH: 2 points

    * 19-24 MPH: 3 points

    * 24-34 MPH: 4 points

    * 34 MPH or more: 6 points

Answer 3

It starts getting pretty expensive at either 30 or 31 over (I don't remember for sure).  All of the Georgia codes and fines are available on the internet.
