no, Georgia just sucks to drive in.
their fines aren't set either. Its like it varies on who does the paperwork. I got nailed for doing 15 over, 25 miles from the florida boarder and it was a 300 dollar ticket.
what really sucks is that you can't fight the ticket. you have to pay it, then you can fight the points, and even if you win, you don't get your money back. My girl got the exact same ticket, in the same area, and hers was a 700 dollar ticket.
and if you don't pay, they don't just suspend your license or whatever, they issue a warrant for your arrest.
unless you don't mind driving like a grandma and reviewing the statute book before making any on road maneuvers, then I say drive around Georgia. Figure, average out the cost of the tickets, plus dealing with atlanta traffic and all that jazz, and you end up breaking even just by going around. I know truck drivers that won't drive through Georgia if it is at all possible to avoid it.

Hire a lawyer inside that county and have them contest it, you don't have to show up. At least I didn't when I got a ticket in Rincon GA. Ended up winning the case, lawyer was like $83 lol.

i think it just depends on the county and all of that... every attorney i talked to in valdosta (or however that fuck place is spelled) said that I would have to be there in person.
but it is very much worth making the phone calls.
