Get Uniform Civil Citation

If The Officer Doesn't Show Up In Court Will My Ticket Be Dismissed? Our law office receives calls from drivers who are fairly certain if the officer that issued the ticket is not present at their court date, the speeding ticket or other moving violation will be dismissed.

If you have received a traffic ticket or been arrested for a traffic violation, or charged with a criminal offense, you will be given a date to appear in court. Failing to show up for the hearing or forgetting to pay the ticket carries severe consequences.

If you miss your court date, a bench warrant may be issued for your arrest, and you could be arrested. If you are charged with a traffic case and miss your court date, not only could you be arrested, but your privilege to drive in the State of Georgia could also be suspended.

This schedule is as follows: 1-4 miles over, $0; 5-10 miles over, $25; 10-14 miles over, $100; 15-18 miles over, $125; 19-23 miles over, $150; and 24-33 miles over, $500.

In Georgia, points remain on a driver's record for two years....To request points off your driving record, you must: Take and complete a certified Driver Improvement course. Obtain a certificate of completion from the course. Present your certificate of completion to the DDS by mail or in-person.

If your citation does not require a mandatory court appearance, you can resolve the case before your scheduled court date by accepting the penalty and paying the fine. Keep in mind that accepting the penalty is pleading guilty to the citation.
