According to the Georgia Department of Driver Services your driver's license will be revoked in Georgia, if you are convicted of one of the following:
- For any third conviction of a mandatory suspendable offense within 5 years, you will be declared a habitual violator. This is a five-year revocation.
- Refusal to submit to a re-examination of driving skills or knowledge of driving rules after receiving notice giving reasonable grounds for such a request.
- If there is sufficient evidence of incompetence or unfitness to drive, due to incapabilities by reason of disease, mental or physical disability, or by alcohol or drug addiction
When your license is revoked your driving privileges are terminated and withdrawn until the end of the period of time prescribed by the formal action of the Department. At the expiration of the revocation period, you may apply for a new license once you satisfy the requirements.
The Department is authorized to suspend your license if its records or other evidence shows that you have accumulated 15 points within 24 months under the point system, including violations committed out of state. The driver's license of any person under 18 years of age who has accumulated a violation point count of four or more points within any 12 month period may also be suspended.
When your license is suspended, your driving privilege is temporarily withdrawn for a specific period of time. At the expiration of the suspension period, you may apply for a license once you satisfy the requirements.
So whether your GA license will be revoked or suspended will depend upon the types of offenses you have been convicted of and the points associated with each violation.
You may contact the Department Of Driver Services 678-413-8400, or toll-free 866-754-3687 if calling from outside metro-Atlanta to find out if your driving privileges are going to be taken away due to your citations. Representatives are available Monday through Friday, 8:00 am until 4:15 pm.
