A 60 zone? That's a pretty rare bird in GA. Must have been inside a city limits. Not sure where you're getting that info. I'm posting directly from GA Law Code. It's not hearsay nor is it made up.

I dont know where,.. I didnt ask because I dont care.

I got my info from my brother. I told him to lawyer up,.. He decided to plead before judge.

If your quoting from the law code then please post the statute so we can all look it up.

40-6-181 has nothing to do with speeding fines or points assessed.

Please try again.

2010 Georgia Code :: TITLE 40 - MOTOR VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC :: CHAPTER 6 - UNIFORM RULES OF THE ROAD :: ARTICLE 9 - SPEED RESTRICTIONS :: § 40-6-181 - Maximum limits

For a while, nearly every thread on this forum somehow ended up being about ELD’s. Recently, it seems that nearly every thread ends up being about global warming or climate change. This is getting ridiculous!

You're right. My bad. Here it is in it's full form:

§ 40-5-57. Suspension or revocation of license of habitually negligent or dangerous driver; point system
(a) The State of Georgia considers dangerous and negligent drivers to be a direct and immediate threat to the welfare and safety of the general public, and it is in the best interests of the citizens of Georgia immediately to remove such drivers from the highways of this state. Therefore, the department is authorized to suspend the license of a driver without a preliminary hearing upon a showing by the records of the department or other sufficient evidence that the licensee is a habitually dangerous or negligent driver of a motor vehicle, such fact being established by the point system in subsection (b) of this Code section.
(b) For the purpose of identifying habitually dangerous or negligent drivers and habitual or frequent violators of traffic regulations governing the movement of vehicles, the department shall assess points, as provided in subsection (c) of this Code section, for convictions of violations of the provisions of Chapter 6 of this title, of violations of lawful ordinances adopted by local authorities regulating the operation of motor vehicles, and of offenses committed in other states which if committed in this state would be grounds for such assessment. Notice of each assessment of points may be given, but the absence of notice shall not affect any suspension made pursuant to this Code section. No points shall be assessed for violating a provision of state law or municipal ordinance regulating standing, parking, equipment, size, and weight. The department is required to suspend the license of a driver, without preliminary hearing, when his driving record identifies him as a habitually dangerous or negligent driver or as a habitual or frequent violator under this subsection.
(c) (1) (A) Except as provided in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph, the points to be assessed for each offense shall be as provided in the following schedule:
(i) Aggressive driving...........................................6 points

(vi) Exceeding the speed limit by 19 miles per hour or more but less
than 24 miles per hour........................................3 points
(vii) Exceeding the speed limit by 24 miles per hour or more but less
than 34 miles per hour........................................4 points
(viii) Exceeding the speed limit by 34 miles per hour or more...6 points
(ix) Disobedience of any traffic-control device or traffic officer..…
.......................................................................3 points
(x) Too fast for conditions.....................................0 points
(xi) Possessing an open container of an alcoholic beverage while driving
.......................................................................2 points
(xii) Failure to adequately secure a load, except fresh farm produce,
resulting in loss of such load onto the roadway which results in an
accident......................................................2 points
(xiii) Violation of child safety restraint requirements, first offense..
...........................….........................................1 point
(xiv) Violation of child safety restraint requirements, second or
subsequent offense............................................2 points
(xv) First violation of Code Section 40-6-241....................1 point
(xvi) Second violation of Code Section 40-6-241.................2 points
(xvii) Third or subsequent violation of Code Section 40-6-241...3 points
(xviii) All other moving traffic violations which are not speed limit
violations....................................................3 points
(B) The commissioner shall suspend the driver's license of any person who has accumulated a violation point count of 15 or more points in any consecutive 24 month period, as measured from the dates of previous arrests for which convictions were obtained to the date of the most current arrest for which a conviction is obtained. A second or subsequent plea of nolo contendere, within the preceding five years, as measured from the dates of previous arrests for which pleas of nolo contendere were accepted to the date of the most current arrest for which a plea of nolo contendere is accepted, to a charge of committing an offense listed in this subsection shall be considered a conviction for the purposes of this Code section. At the end of the period of suspension, the violation point count shall be reduced to zero points.
(C) A court may order a person to attend a defensive driving course approved by the commissioner pursuant to Code Section 40-5-83 for any violation for which points are assessed against a driver's license under this subsection or may accept the attendance by a person at a driver improvement clinic approved by the commissioner pursuant to Code Section 40-5-83 after the issuance of a citation for such offense and prior to such person's appearance before the court, in which event the court shall reduce the fine assessed against such person by 20 percent, and no points shall be assessed by the department against such driver. The disposition and court order shall be reported to the department and shall be placed on the motor vehicle record with a zero point count. This plea may be accepted by the court once every five years as measured from date of arrest to date of arrest.
(2) Any points assessed against an individual for exceeding the speed limit shall be deducted from that individual's accumulated violation point count and the uniform traffic citation issued therefor shall be removed from the individual's record if:
(A) The points were assessed based on the use of a radar speed detection device by a county or municipality during a period of time when the commissioner has determined that such county or municipality was operating a radar speed detection device in violation of Chapter 14 of this title, relating to the use of radar speed detection devices; and
(B) The commissioner has suspended or revoked the radar speed detection device permit of such county or municipality pursuant to Code Section 40-14-11.
(d) Any person who has such points assessed against him as to require the suspension of his license pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of this Code section shall have his license suspended as follows:
(1) Upon a first assessment of the requisite points, the period of suspension shall be one year, provided that at any time after completion of the requirements set forth in Code Section 40-5-84, such person may apply to the department for the return of his license;
(2) For a second assessment of the requisite points within five years, as measured from the dates of previous arrests for which convictions were obtained to the date of the most current arrest for which a conviction is obtained, the period of suspension shall be three years, provided that at any time after completion of the requirements set forth in Code Section 40-5-84, such person may apply to the department for the return of his license; and
(3) For a third assessment of requisite points within five years, as measured from the dates of previous arrests for which convictions were obtained to the date of the most current arrest for which a conviction is obtained, such person shall have his license suspended for a period of two years. Such person shall not be eligible for early return of his license or for a limited driving permit as provided in Code Section 40-5-64 during such two-year period.
(e) The periods of suspension provided for in this Code section shall begin on the date the license is surrendered to and received by the department, from the date a license is surrendered to a court under any provision of this chapter, or on the date that the department processes the citation or conviction, whichever date shall first occur. If the license cannot be surrendered to the department, the period of suspension may begin on the date set forth in a sworn affidavit setting forth the date and reasons for such impossibility, if the department shall have sufficient evidence to believe that the date set forth in such affidavit is true; in the absence of such evidence, the date of receipt of such affidavit shall be controlling.
(f) In all cases in which the department may return a license to a driver prior to the termination of the full period of suspension, the department may require such tests of driving skill and knowledge as it determines to be proper, and the department's discretion shall be guided by the driver's past driving record and performance, and the driver shall pay the fee provided for in Code Section 40-5-84 for the return of his or her license.

Just keep the crap spewing deeper. I'll have to run over to the farm and get my pig stall boots out.

Just for anyone that cares C++ was released in 1985. A good decade after the Vietnam War. See unlike others I can program. I'm not great, but I can usually beat the code into submission.

Learned perl mostly for linux admin scripts back when I ran a local ISP. I can do a bit of C++, C#, and web languages like php and (old) asp.

Please, what new "revelations" do you have now?

Ha! I'm self taught in C#, C++, VB, and a gaming script language(worked for an online game late 90s that used their own. Old school text based, rpg type game. Got paid to kill people. Good times). I couldn't do it now as I've not kept up with coding at all, but eh...found I liked doing things other then screwing around with 1s and 0s.

Thats not the actual article that I read,.. I just did a quick google and that site came up. I didnt even read it. Just said Volcanic Polution,.. so I figured what ever information you were looking for should be in there.

The article I read was about the Volcano that blew in Iceland in 2010 or 2011.I cant find it and honestly do not have the patience to search right now.

Volcano in question is this one in the link. I didn't look for a report. I do remember the volcano though. Stopped flights all around Iceland and further out for days if I recall properly. Lots of gunk in the air.

Pollution in general - I'm not a scientist I can only go by my own experiences. Storms seem more fierce then they did when I was a kid. Not sure if it's cause of climate change or me just not remembering right. Seems like hurricanes are a lot stronger then in the past. I live on a sandbar off the mainland in the Atlantic so I do pay attention to hurricanes. I can't tie global warming to stronger hurricanes, but they do seem stronger then in the past. Cat 4's an 5's seem more regular these days. Not to mention snow in weird places. Mother nature or pollution? I dunno.

California - Wouldn't care to live there. To many things I dislike more then I like. From their laws to their weirdness. They do keep me amused though. So that's a plus in the pro Column. lol. I'd rather visit Death Valley, or Slab City/The Slabs then LA, Oakland, San Diego, or SF.

Isn't there a link to insanity and genius? I think I remember reading something about it.

All I can tell you is that my brother was assessed 3 pts for 74 in a 60. Judge told him it was for 1 pts for each 5 mph over.

Bottom line,.. Judges word is final.
