Driving with expired registration in Georgia Today, February 2, 2017, I received three calls from prospective clients all charged with, operating a vehicle with expired registration. It is unlawful in the state of Georgia to operate a motor vehicle on any road or highway without the vehicle being properly registered. The penalty for operating and unregistered vehicle can be a misdemeanor for which you may go to jail. The fine for operating an unregistered vehicle can be from hundreds to thousands of dollars. Clients tell me many reasons why their vehicle was unregistered. The most common reason is the lack of funds to pay for the registration.

Charged with hit-and-run in Alpharetta? Today I received a call from a person charged with a hit and run. Frequently, a driver hits another car in a parking lot and there is very little or no damage to either vehicle. If the driver of the vehicle can't find the owner of the other vehicle, they sometimes simply drive away. The law requires that the driver, make a concerted effort to locate the owner of the vehicle that has been hit. If the owner of the other vehicle cannot be located, the driver of the other car is required to leave his or her identifying information and contact number, in a place that is prominent. Often, this second part is ignored. If you simply drive away and you are later found, you can be charged with the criminal misdemeanor of hit and run, and you may will be arrested.
