Have You Been Charged with DUI and Other Related Traffic Offenses in Georgia?

If you have been arrested for DUI in Georgia, you probably were given other traffic offenses or other related charges.  For example, generally before being charged with a DUI, you were pulled over for some other offense such as speeding, failure to maintain lane, reckless driving, and other Georgia traffic offenses.  Once stopped, the arresting officer may find that your license is suspended or may find you possession of marijuana.
