FAQ
Be sure to include all the essential details, including the date and location of the violation, your citation number, and any other relevant factual information. Identify yourself as the violator and explain why you are contesting the ticket.
There is no statute of limitations or set date range by which the courts must issue an arrest warrant. Any county can turn a legal issue into a bench warrant at any time, even 10 years later. If this happens, it means there is a court order that mandates your arrest and court appearance to face your unpaid citation.
If you miss your court date, the court will ask the Georgia Department of Driver Services to suspend your driver's license until the case is resolved.
Remain polite and courteous in the letter. Avoid complaining or making demands. Briefly explain the situation and circumstances around the ticket. Express remorse for the violation and acknowledge that you made a mistake.
If you opt to fight the ticket, you'll need to appear in court (the court where you'll appear will be specified on the ticket.) Here, you'll argue your innocence before a court administrator, magistrate, or judge. You can represent yourself or have an attorney do it on your behalf.
Navigating Traffic Court in Georgia You can represent yourself or have an attorney do it on your behalf. You also have the option to request a jury trial if the violation is considered a criminal offense under state law.
The defendant may bring witnesses to prove innocence or to counter the issuing officer's testimony. If the defense proves that the officer wrongly issued a traffic ticket, the judge may dismiss the case. If the judge dismisses the case, the defendant is acquitted and will not receive driving record points or penalties.
Writing an appeal letter to the court about your traffic ticket is the first thing you need to do in order to get a violation dismissed. In your letter, you should explain who you are, when and where you got your ticket and the reasons why you believe the fine should be decreased or dismissed.
Begin with a clear and concise introduction, stating the grounds for dismissal. Follow with a detailed argument section that outlines why the complaint should be dismissed, supported by legal authorities.
