Over the years the various DUI task forces have focused their attention on various Atlanta locations. They change from time to time as one might expect. In recent weeks we’ve noticed that clients have reported that the Georgia State Patrol Nighthawks DUI Unit has begun DUI enforcement near the Piedmont Ave & Monroe Dr area (Smith’s, Burkhart’s, Cowtippers). It’s been a while since that area has been patrolled regularly. Please be mindful.

Georgia’s “super speeder” law went into effect a few days ago. It doesn’t create a new offense, but it does increase fines associated with higher speeds. Specifically, going over 85 mph on the highway will cost one an additional $200 on top of whatever fines would otherwise be assessed. On two-lanes roads, the additional fine kicks in at 75 mph. These are seperate fines that will be charged to the driver by the State of Georgia once the state is notified of the violation.
This is a new concept that we assume will lead to lots of litigation. We’ll post as the matter gets sorted out in the courts.
