What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? Georgia.

Last year, in December 2004, I received a speeding ticket for 95 in a 70. I paid my fine, but was unable to make it to court, which I know mean I plead guilty.
I just now in Janurary of 2006, received a statement saying my liscense is suspened as of December 21, 2005. Is there a limitation to how long it can take the court to process the paperwork and actually suspend my liscense?
I thought my six months of suspension was already done because I got stopped at the beginning of December because I had a tinted liscense plate cover.
I have an Arkansas driver's liscense. (I'm in the military) Can the state of Georgia take my liscense or just suspend my driving priviledges in Georgia?

Thanks in advance for any help.

95 in a 70 does not equal a license suspension in GA. Better call the DMV and find out what is going on. GA can suspend your driving priviledges in GA and Ark can suspend your license.

A: Your suspension began on the date of the notice.

A: Both.

The GA DMV says that if you are under 21, 24 and over is suspendable. I was under 21 at the time of the violation.

However, my main question is their any time limit set for them to process it and actually suspend it?

I think that a year is a little ridiculous considering it's only suspended for 6 months and they've waited twice that for the paperwork.

Maybe I am just being hopefully though.

Reporting Convictions

After a conviction of a traffic offense, the court will forward notice of that conviction to the Department.

Maybe there was a lazy court clerk in the background....

Lazy clerk? Well that clerk was a little bit more than lazy if it took that long. I wonder if I take a defensive driving course if they'll give my driving previlidges back, at least for driving to work. Guess I'll have to call the DMV tomorrow. Thanks for the help.
