Atlanta Improper Passing Ticket Attorney

Traffic Ticket Defense Lawyer in Atlanta, Georgia

Have you received a ticket for improper passing? This is a serious traffic violation that can result in points on your license and thus increased insurance costs, the need for traffic school and fines. Atlanta traffic ticket lawyer Judy Kim offers a free consultation to discuss your citation and see how she can help you fight it.

Improper passing is the traffic violation of passing another vehicle in an illegal manner. This may be a violation because passing is not permitted at that specific area, because the driver passing the slower driver did not give enough room to safely pass, or because the slower driver increased his/her speed while another driver attempted to pass his/her vehicle. Improper passing is a serious traffic violation that can result in up to 6 points on a person’s driving record, in certain circumstances.

Unlawfully passing a school bus can result in 6 points on your driving record, and improper passing on a curve or hill can result in 4 points on your driving record. Passing laws are in place in an effort to prevent auto accidents from occurring and to prevent injuries and deaths on the roads. Because a driver is virtually blind to oncoming traffic while driving uphill or around a curve, passing is prohibited in these areas, unless there is a specific lane provided for that purpose. Even then, passing laws must still be obeyed as the driver passes the slower vehicle.

As a traffic lawyer, Judy Kim is experienced in dealing with tickets issued for improper passing. While an improper passing citation may seem to be a lesser traffic offense, the effects can still last for many years and may be very expensive for a driver to deal with. Increased insurance premiums can last for years, and accumulating enough points on one’s driving record will result in driver’s license suspension.
