Georgia Will Suspend Your Driver's License for DUI Unless You Call Within 10 Days of Arrest

When you are arrested for DUI in Georgia, the police will take your driver's license and give you a form (DDS 1205). That form:

  • serves as your driver's license until your case is over
  • is the official notice that your license will be suspended in 10 days unless you request a hearing

If you have been arrested for DUI in Georgia, take action right away to protect your driving privileges.

Protect Your Driving Privileges After a Traffic Offense in Metro Atlanta or Central Georgia

Georgia's point system can lead to your driver's license being suspended or revoked, in addition to costing you a hefty fine and court costs. Your insurance rates will skyrocket, and you will face higher penalties for any future traffic violations.

People with commercial driver's licenses (CDL) do not have the same point system as ordinary drivers. Every traffic violation carries harsher penalties for CDL drivers. It does not matter if you were driving a commercial or personal vehicle at the time of your offense — you will still face the CDL penalties.

Many out-of-state drivers do not realize that traffic and speeding tickets you receive in Georgia can count against your driver's license in your home state.

I am Georgia criminal and traffic defense lawyer Josh Thacker. As a former Assistant District Attorney for six years, I have handled many DUI and municipal cases. Now, as a dedicated criminal defense lawyer, I defend clients facing Georgia drunk-driving charges and traffic violations — including CDL drivers and drivers from other states.
