In Arizona there are certain traffic offenses that are considered to be criminal instead of civil.  Under Title 28 of the Arizona Revised States (ARS), criminal offenses are punishable by a fine and/or jail sentence. 

The traffic code goes on to list criminal speeding or excessive speed (more than 20 mph above the posted speed limit), reckless driving and driving under the influence as a few of the criminal traffic violations.  There are other criminal violations, such as repeat DUIs and hit and run with serious injury or death, that are felonies.

Civil penalties for traffic offenses cannot exceed $250 and no jail time but criminal offenses have no standard fine amount.  According to the Flagstaff Municipal court site, www.coconino.az.gov/courts.aspx?id=320, all fine amounts are determined by the judge.

Arizona is a member of the Drivers License Compact while Georgia is not but the GA DMV does have agreements with other states to exchange information regarding tickets.  If the DMV does have such an agreement with AZ, then the information regarding this citation received on the Navajo Reservation would be sent to them.

Driving 26 mph over the speed limit in Georgia is not considered a criminal violation but is worth 4 points.  To find out if the Arizona ticket will be assessed points, and how or if it will be recorded on your driving history, contact the GA Department of Driver Services.
