What Is the Georgia Traffic Ticket Calculator?
The Georgia Traffic Ticket Calculator is an interactive web tool designed to estimate the financial and legal impact of a traffic violation.
It uses Georgia’s official traffic laws and penalty ranges to give drivers an approximate idea of what to expect before heading to court or paying a ticket.
Here’s what it can estimate for you:
- Base fine amount (maximum court fine)
- License points added to your driving record
- Possible license suspension risks
- Extra state fees, like the Super Speeder surcharge
- Notes on court costs and surcharges
The calculator is for educational purposes only — it doesn’t replace legal advice or official court information. But it’s a quick and easy way to understand the ballpark cost of a ticket in Georgia.
How the Georgia Traffic Ticket Calculator Works
The calculator uses simple dropdowns and input fields. You select the type of violation, enter any extra details (like how many miles over the limit you were driving), and click “Calculate Estimate.”
It then displays a clean summary of:
- The estimated fine
- The points that could go on your record
- Whether your license might be suspended
- Additional notes and fees
You can also reset it instantly with the “Reset” button to start over.
Supported Violation Types
The calculator currently estimates penalties for four common Georgia traffic violations:
1. Speeding
You’ll enter how many miles per hour (MPH) you were over the speed limit.
If your speed qualifies as a “Super Speeder” (75+ mph on a two-lane road or 85+ mph on any road), the calculator automatically adds the $200 Super Speeder fee to your result.
Example output:
- Fine: Up to $500
- Points: 4
- Extra fee: $200 Super Speeder fee (if applicable)
- Suspension: Unlikely unless you reach 15 points in 24 months
2. Texting or Distracted Driving
Georgia’s Hands-Free Law prohibits holding your phone while driving. The calculator estimates fines and points based on whether it’s your first, second, or third offense.
Example output:
- 1st offense: $50 fine, 1 point
- 2nd offense: $100 fine, 2 points
- 3rd offense: $150 fine, 3 points
3. Red Light or Stop Sign Violation
Running a red light or stop sign can result in moderate fines and points.
Example output:
- Fine: $70–$200
- Points: 3
- Suspension: Unlikely unless you’ve reached 15 total points
4. Reckless Driving
This is one of the most serious non-criminal driving charges.
The calculator displays the potential fine and warns you that reckless driving is a misdemeanor that may lead to a license suspension and even jail time.
Example output:
- Fine: Up to $1,000
- Points: 4
- Suspension: Possible (judge’s discretion)
- Note: Mandatory court appearance required
Example: How to Use the Calculator Step-by-Step
Let’s say you were caught speeding 22 mph over the limit on a Georgia highway.
Here’s how to use the tool:
- Select “Speeding” from the dropdown.
- Enter 22 in “MPH Over Speed Limit.”
- Leave “Super Speeder” unchecked (since you were below 85 mph).
- Click “Calculate Estimate.”
Your estimated result might look like this:
- Estimated Fine: Up to $150
- License Points: 3
- Possible Suspension: Unlikely unless 15 points in 24 months
- Fees & Notes: Court costs and surcharges apply
