What charges will suspend my license if I am under 21?

The Teenage and Adult Driver Responsibility Act
If a person is convicted for certain driving offenses in the State of Georgia, then there is an automatic suspension of their Georgia Driver's license.
The age measurement is calculated by the date of conviction.


The offenses that trigger the automatic license suspensions for drivers who are under 21 years old are contained in O.C.G.A. 40-5-57.1: 

• Under age purchases of alcohol
• DUI
• Reckless Driving
• Racing
• Any offense that carries 4 or more points
• 4 or more points accumulated in a 12 month period if under age 18
• Hit and Run
• Fleeing or attempting to Elude

Any 1st conviction of any of the above convictions will result in a six month license suspension plus reinstatement fees.  A second conviction will result in a one year license suspension.
If the underage driver is convicted of DUI and his/her blood alcohol level was below .08, then their driver's license will be suspended for 6 months.  If the blood alcohol level was equal to or above .08, then the period of suspension is one year.  
**It is very important to remember that a plea of nolo or no contest to any of the above charges DOES NOT save your driver's license.  A nolo or no contest plea is treated as a conviction for the purposes of this statute.
