If the DDS receives the notification of your conviction for speeding at 75 mph or more on a two-lane road or highway, or at 85 mph and above on any road or highway, the offender will be notified by first-class mail of the $200 Super Speeder fee. A second letter will be sent once the driving privileges have gone under suspension. The offender will have 120 days from the date of the notice to pay the fee to DDS. Failure to pay the fee in the time allotted will result in the suspension of the driver's license and the offender will be required to pay a reinstatement fee, select Reinstatement Fees and Payment Options for details. Out-of-State drivers are subject to the same requirements as Georgia drivers. If you do not pay the Super Speeder fee, the DDS will impose a suspension of your non-resident driving privilege in Georgia. Out-of-State Drivers can use our Online Limited Services option to pay fines. Georgia law mandates the suspension of the driver's license of anyone who fails to meet his or her child support obligation(s). Child Support suspensions are triggered by electronic notifications to the DDS from the Georgia Department of Human Services (DHS). Upon receipt of notification from the DHS, the DDS sends notice to the non-custodial parent alerting him/her of the pending suspension and offering a grace period to come into compliance with the child support obligation before the suspension is put into effect. A child support suspension will remain in effect indefinitely until the non-custodial parent comes into compliance with his or her child support obligation(s). Anyone age twenty-one (21) or older convicted of driving under the influence, DUI, in the State of Georgia is subject to a suspension or revocation of his/her driver's license or non-resident driving privilege for a period of 120 days to five (5) years depending upon the prior driving record. Suspensions and revocations also result from convictions imposed upon Georgia residents by courts in other states. An FTA suspension occurs when a driver fails to appear in court or does not pay a traffic citation. Anyone operating a motor vehicle registered in Georgia must have automobile liability insurance for at least the minimum limits required by law to drive. Failure to provide valid proof of insurance when asked, by law enforcement, will result in a driver's license or permit suspension. Reinstatement - No Proof of Insurance (First Offence) FAQs.
