aggresive driving in ga.

What is the name of your state?
My state is Georgia. I passed an off-duty officer in a civilian car at 4:00 a.m. We were the only two vehicles on a two-mile stretch of open road. I proceeded to drive on at an excessive rate of speed. The officer called two marked cars to pull me over. I was given a breathalyzer which I passed. The officer in the civilian vehicle borrowed a ticket book from one of the on-duty officers and went on to give me an aggressive driving citation.


This cititation calls for a mandatory court apearance. This is my first serious traffic violation. I don't know what to expect, plus the whole incident is sketchy. I would appreciate any advice

Sounds like a movie, OH! it's been done before.

Aggressive driving can but up there with DWI in seriousness in some states. The mandatory court appearance reflects the seriousness also. A lawyer is probably a good investiment.

Call a lawyer in your area, some give free consultations. I got a ticket for a 6-point violation as well, passing a school bus. I asked about the jail-time aspect of it, as it is a misdemanor, and the lawyers said to not be worried about it. Don't know how different your violation is viewed, but be sure to call some lawyers okays.
