I am currently on probation for dui and have a couple of months left.but was recently issued a speeding ticket,will this going to affect my probation,is there another trouble for me to face?please help.
Unfortunately, in Georgia, a speeding IS a criminal matter, a misdemeanor, and can lead to up to 12 months in jail. Therefore, it can cause a huge problem with your probation, since probation sentences in Georgia require that you do not "violate ANY law" regardless whether it is a felony or misdemeanor.
That said, unless this was a "serious" speeding ticket ( more than 20 mph over the limit, or over 100 miles per hour) it will probably not cause a violation.
I concur with Mr. Hamilton's assessment, In GA, a speeding ticket is a criminal violation, however, its nature is probably not severe enough to trigger a probation violation unless it is egregious such as reckless driving or excessively over the limit.
