Atlanta Traffic Lawyer

The statute for Aggressive Driving reads as follows:
O.C.G.A. 40-6-397 Aggressive driving

(a) A person commits the offense of aggressive driving when he or she operates any motor vehicle with the intent to annoy, harass, molest, intimidate, injure, or obstruct another person, including without limitation violating Code Section 40-6-42, 40-6-48, 40-6-49, 40-6-123, 40-6-184, 40-6-312, or 40-6-390 with such intent.

(b) Any person convicted of aggressive driving shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of a high and aggravated nature.

What Does This Mean to You?
Like most statutes in Georgia, this is pretty vague. Next to getting a DUI, this is one of the worst misdemeanor traffic offenses in Georgia. In reality, if a cop thinks you were driving like a complete jackass, he might write you a traffic ticket for this. He even has the authority to arrest you for this offense. The maximum penalty is 1 year in jail, 12 months on probation, or a $1,000 fine.

Points for Aggressive Driving = 6 Points. If you are under 21, a conviction would suspend your driver’s license.
