Georgia camera tickets: FAQ
If someone else was driving, can I get out of a camera ticket in Georgia?
Yes. Georgia lets the registered owner file a sworn, notarized statement (O.C.G.A. § 40-6-20 / § 40-14-18) stating you weren’t the driver. A valid one can cancel the ticket. It must be true — it’s sworn under penalty of perjury.
How do I fight a traffic camera ticket in Georgia?
If someone else was driving, file a sworn, notarized statement (O.C.G.A. § 40-6-20 / § 40-14-18) — follow the steps above. If it was you, request a hearing to contest the citation itself. Either way these are civil tickets, so no license points.
What is the sworn, notarized statement in Georgia?
It’s a sworn statement to the court that the vehicle was in someone else’s control at the time of the camera infraction. File it by sworn, notarized statement, by the deadline on the citation.
Do camera tickets in Georgia put points on my license?
No. Automated red-light and speed camera citations in Georgia are civil — they don’t add points to your driving record. Don’t pay the fine before filing, though — paying usually withdraws your right to declare.
One rule: it has to be true.
This is a statement under penalty of perjury. If someone else really was driving, use it without hesitation. If you were the one driving, filing anyway is a crime far more serious than the ticket — just pay it or request a hearing.
