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.

Texting and driving? It can wait until you are parked. There is no text so important, that it must be read or sent while driving. Texting and driving kills! Following the universal use of the smart phone as an Internet and texting device, the deaths from distracted driving have gone through the roof. There is no text that is so important that it is worth risking your life for. This plea for safer driving is brought to you by the Alpharetta, Georgia traffic ticket defense attorney Scott Miller.

I just left court with my client in Sandy Springs, GA. She had been charged with driving a vehicle with an expired registration. Her vehicle was impounded, and she was required to reinstate the registration before she could retrieve her vehicle. The laws of the state of Georgia clearly require that a motor vehicle must be currently registered in order to be operated on roads or highway's in Georgia. I have heard many reasons for not renewing a vehicle registration. The majority of which seem to be either I forgot to send in the registration or I didn't have money to pay for the registration. Driving and unregistered vehicle in Georgia is not worth the risk. Often times you may end up with your vehicle being impounded. Now you have the added cost of defending yourself in court and paying the impound fee.

In this particular case he was driving his brothers car. Unfortunately for my client, it is the driver's responsibility to make sure that the vehicle is covered by current liability insurance, even though the driver is not the owner of the vehicle.

Fortunately for client though, after negotiations with the prosecutor, I was able to get his charge reduced to a minor traffic violation.

My client was leaving a parking lot in Roswell, when according to witnesses, his car brushed an adjacent parked car.

During negotiations with the prosecutor, I was able to get my client's charge dismissed.

My client who is 18 years old, and works after school, has college plans in his future. This young man is an excellent student and has had no problems with law enforcement in the past.

After negotiations with the prosecutor, I got the court to agree to reduce the reckless driving charge to a simple speeding charge. This is another very happy family who are client's of the Alpharetta, Georgia speeding ticket defensive attorney Scott Miller.
