Scott Fortas, Attorney - Fortas Law Group
- Q. I was issued a citation for failure to yield Section 40-6-71.
- A: No, this is incorrect. This violation is 3 points and would appear on your driving record if you have a Georgia driver's license and just pay the fine.
- Q. I got a $256 ticket for failure to obey GA Code 40.6.20. Should this fee be lower?
- A: Good morning,
Thank you for reaching out.
The fines are determined by the specific court. The only way you may be able to request a lower fine would be to appear in court in person and ask the judge. The judge may or may not be amenable to your request.
