    A friend of mine just received a ticket in a construction zone for doing 20 over. He’s worried that he’ll loose his license and get a minimum of a $2000 fine. I don’t know the whole story yet, but to the best of my knowledge it’s his first traffic violation in a long time. I’m not familiar with GA law or practice in these scenarios. Any thought’s to set a realistic outcome to look forward to.

    if it was for 20 over he will not lose his license unless they charge him with reckless another way he iwll lose it is it he gets another major ticket within i believe 2 years might be less but nevertheless he needs to slow down

    15 over will be a reckless driving ticket. He'll be lucky if his insurance co or the company he drives for doesn't dump him.

    fines will double automatically, and go on his DAC (bad thing) but the biggest thing is if he gets another ticket in the next 3 years he will lose his cdl for a period of time and then has to retest to get it back. Depending on the county in ga. he got busted in and who got him(state,county,DOT, etc) that will say alot of his consequences.

    so this happened around the 85/316 construction zone. they sit there very heavily because it's a richer part of town and that means more money. gwinnett county can go either way. it will depend on the judge he gets and what the defendents do before him in court. hopefully the person before him doesn't not rub the judge the wrong way. anyway tell him to bring money and lots of it.
