I appeared with my client in Johns Creek City Court to fight her school zone speeding ticket. She was charged with driving 42 mph in a 25 mph school zone. Following negotiations with the prosecutor, I was able to get the school zone violation eliminated, and then the prosecutor agreed to reduce my client speed to 14 mph over the limit. This is now a city matter and my client will continue to have a clean driving record with the state of Georgia. This is another happy client of the Alpharetta, Georgia speeding ticket defense attorney Scott Miller.

The laws of the State of Georgia require vehicle headlights to be on in the rain. Drivers often use their flashers when driving in heavy downpours. Using flashers in the rain is legal in Georgia, however most law enforcement officials argue against using flashers. Flashers do increase your visibility to drivers behind you, however they eliminate your ability to use your turn signals. If the rain is so heavy that visibility is limited, your best option is to leave the roadway and stop in a safe location until the rain shower is over.

Stay safe, keep a safe distance when driving. While driving your vehicle, leave enough room to live. When driving on a roadway, the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front, is the room to live. While driving leave enough room to live, enough room to survive a crash. The larger the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you, increases your chances of surviving a crash.

All of us have experienced driving in a heavy rain downpour. Even if we are driving at a safe speed, some other vehicles seem to fly by without regard for the rain, or the visibility, or the road conditions. When driving fast in the rain, even if you are doing the speed limit, you can be stopped by law-enforcement, and ticketed for driving too fast for conditions. Most assuredly, if your car slides off the road, when the police arrive, you will be ticketed for driving too fast for conditions. Slow down when it rains, drive safely, and keep your eyes focused on the car ahead. This plea for safe driving comes to you from the Alpharetta, Georgia traffic ticket defense attorney Scott Miller.

Look twice, save a life, motorcycles are everywhere. Motorcycles share the same road and obey the same rules as any other vehicle. The greatest risk to motorcyclist is when the rider makes a left-hand turn. The motorcyclist is in danger of being hit by left and right approaching vehicles.

While driving on I-75 yesterday, I came across two accidents. The first accident was in the northbound lane, and the second accident was on the opposite side of the interstate in the southbound lane. Although, I couldn't tell if this was true about these two accidents, often drivers distracted by an accident on the other side of the road collide with a car in front of their car. When approaching the site of an accident, do not look at the accident, rather look straight-ahead at the traffic in front of you.
