Georgia Traffic Violation & Infraction Classifications
Our state classifies traffic offenses based on severity and refers to them as “violations” and “infractions.” Violations are misdemeanors and felonies, while infractions are “regulatory offenses and ordinance violations.”
Misdemeanor Traffic Violations
Examples of misdemeanor traffic violations include:
- First-time driving under the influence (DUI)
- Not paying for gasoline
- Street racing
- Speeding
- Driving a vehicle with a suspended or revoked registration
Georgia misdemeanors carry penalties of up to a year in jail and thousands of dollars in fines. Courts may impose additional penalties for certain offenses. DUI, for instance, can result in a license suspension and community service.
Felony Traffic Violations
Examples of felony traffic violations include:
- A fourth DUI
- Fleeing the police
- Hit and run
- Vehicular homicide
- Driving without a license (fourth offense in five years)
If you are convicted of a felony traffic violation, you could face over a year of imprisonment, thousands of dollars in fines, and disqualification of driving privileges.
Traffic Infractions
Traffic infractions do not pose risks to people or property and are not punishable by jail time.
They are lower-level offenses, including but not limited to:
- Improperly using a car’s signal
- Failing to obey a traffic light
- Failing to yield to oncoming traffic or an emergency vehicle
- Illegally passing a school bus
The penalties for traffic infractions generally include fines and license points. If you accumulate more than 15 points in a two-year period, the state will suspend your license.

Can a Traffic Offense Cause Immigration Problems?
In short, it depends. Many offenses will not affect your immigration status if you are a lawful permanent resident or visa holder. However, more serious violations can result in the risk of removal (deportation). Courts may consider DUI, hit and run, and other similar traffic offenses as “crimes of moral turpitude,” which may trigger removal proceedings. Additionally, if you are an undocumented immigrant caught driving without a license, you could be removed from the US. At Deadwyler-Heuman Law Firm, LLC, we frequently handle cases involving the intersections of immigration and traffic/criminal law. If you are concerned about a recent traffic violation or infraction and its impact on your immigration status, get the help of our knowledgeable team. With our grasp of state and federal law, we can provide clarity on your situation and work to preserve your immigration status and benefits and secure any necessary protections.
Why Hire a Traffic Lawyer?
Hiring a traffic lawyer may be necessary to protect your right to drive and avoid costly fines and jail time. Not to mention, if you need a clear criminal history for your job, student loans, or immigration status, retaining an attorney is essential.
