Speeding ticket in Georgia going 17 Over?

I live in Cherokee County, Georgia and received a speeding ticket in Adel, Georgia on my way back from Miami…(Great welcome back!). Adel is over four hours away from my home so I obviously want to avoid traveling there again! The ticket is for going 17 over on the interstate (87 in a 70), traffic was normal, weather was favorable, and I was very pleasant throughout the office issuing me the citation. I am wanting to find out what the “punishment” would be for not fighting this ticket and just paying the $153 fine. I have never had a traffic citation before, no accidents, …nothing! I am 21, had my license since I was 16, I am a good driver…for the most part. The officer who pulled me over was the not the officer who clocked me. I contacted a lawyers office in Adel, Georgia and said this is common practice. Like I said though, I want to avoid any drastic things from happening such as a higher insurance premium. Any help on the matter will be greatly, greatly appreciated.

Your best bet is to contact the courts and ask them these questions. They are the ones who will process your ticket and will know all the laws and regulation. You should also ask the courts if you are allowed to take a driving school class. This will prevent your insurance from going up and points from being placed on your license. Just make sure you get the courts permission before doing so. If you don’t the courts will reject your driving school certificate. Good luck!
