You see the blue lights behind you, and that sinking feeling creeps in. It could happen to anyone, but today it’s you. You wonder why she is pulling you over. As the officer asks for your license, a million thoughts race through your head. A few minutes later, you are driving away, the proud owner of a nearly unreadable uniform traffic citation. You may already know that uniform traffic citations in Georgia contribute points toward your license. Get enough points, and your license gets suspended. Additionally, if you’re under 21 years old or have a commercial driver’s license, an entirely different set of rules applies. There is a bigger problem, though.
The Department of Driver Services reports moving violations to your motor vehicle report, or driving history. Insurers use that information in setting their rates. While a poor driving history make car insurance almost unaffordable, even a single uniform traffic citation can raise your insurance rates by up to 22%.1 Think that a citation will just fall off after you pay it? Think again. While most insurance companies look back at least three years, some look back up to ten years for uniform traffic citations! As employers seek to minimize insurance costs, some are now asking for driving histories as part of their hiring process. Remember, paying the citation is the same as pleading guilty. You need a better option.
