    i would also agree w/ Bob, however the bond may be higher if there were other traffic charges along with the dui (i.e. lane violation, speeding etc.) generally the max fine is the stated bond amount to make sure you come to court.

    renewal of your license will not be possible if the unpaid citations are not resolved. the dds records will almost certainly reflect the unpaid citation. also be aware that an outstanding warrant may be issued.

    there is not effect at this time, unless you have been convicted. many applications however will ask if you have been arrested. in my experience you will not suffer any harm, however you must be truthful in your application to avoid penalty.

    the statute of limitations in Georgia is 2 years from the date of the alleged act. Please don't hold it against the public defender he has tons of cases. blood test results in Georgia can take up to 6 months to complete. Your husband can request an independent test if you want to know the reults now. without the blood test your husband's odds at an acquittal significantly increase

    in Georgia there must be probable cause to believe that a crime is or has occured. there is a very bad case from the united states supreme court that allows evidence gathered from the stop even if the officer had an ulterior motive see: Whren v. United States, 517 U.S. 806, 116 S.Ct. 1769, 135 L.Ed.2d 89 (1996). call: R.
