What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia
I received a ticket for 35 in a 25, and under additional violations the officer listed School Zone, and section 40-6-151. I can't find any section 40-6-151 on any online online search I've tried (google through to special sites). Assuming the officer might have miswrote the section, I've also searched for all references to School Zone, School (in the traffic chapter (40)) in the code, and found nothing that states what the penalty is for speeding in a School Zone. I've seen many statements on this forum and elsewhere that it doubles the fine, but I can't find that in the code. Worse, I've also seen some claim that speeding in a school zone is considered equivelant to a DUI, but without finding any info in the code, I can't determine the accuracy of that.
This situation is compounded by the fact that after 2 1/2 weeks, when I called to find out what the fine would be, the computer response said the ticket had not been put into the system yet, that they were experiencing problems.
Thanks for any information!What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
