Accumulating points on a Georgia driver’s license can lead to suspension. A point system is used by the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) to track driving infractions. Certain traffic violations, like speeding or reckless driving, result in points being added to a driver’s record. If a driver accumulates 15 points within a 24-month period, their license will be suspended.
Maintaining a clean driving record is important for several reasons. Insurance rates are often higher for drivers with points on their licenses. Furthermore, a suspended license restricts mobility and can affect employment. Understanding available methods for point reduction is crucial for responsible driving and maintaining driving privileges.
