DUI Georgia: Tough New Laws
The toughest DUI laws in Georgia history were enactedt on July 1, 2009. These new "get tough on DUI" and DUI "zone tolerance" laws require even more people to serve mandatory minimum jail sentences for Georgia DUI convictions increasing the look back period for mandatory sentencing from 5 years to 10 years, felony treatment for some DUI offenses, mandatory jail sentences ranging from 24 hours to 15 days, 120 day to 5 year license suspensions, a minimum of twelve months of reporting probation, and extensive community service ranging from 40 hrs to 240 hours or 30 days! Some Georgia DUI offenders will have to spend days if not weeks in jail, have all of their license plates confiscated, lose there driver's license for up to five years, have breath devices installed on their vehicles and be required to perform 30 days or 240 hours of community service!New laws are currently under consideration that may require breath test devices be installed in the personal vehicles of all first time DUI offenders who blow over 0.15 as well as aggravated punishment for jail and community service.
In a Georgia DUI arrest, there are two court systems which one must navigate: a criminal court system dealing with fines and jail time and a driver's license court system which handles periods of driver's license suspension. Further, you have ten business days to request a hearing after your Georgia DUI arrest or your driver's license will be suspended thirty days after your Georgia DUI arrest for as much as five years in some cases and before you even go to court for your DUI criminal case. You must also send a $150.00 filing fee with your ten day letter to save your license made payable to the Georgia Department of Driver Services.
