Question

While the actual teen driving provisions have been incorporated into a second bill in Georgia, the Driving Under the Influence (DUI) legislation received a healthy amount of debate. Federal law has moved the blood alcohol content to .08 for an automatic DUI. States must comply with this in order to receive federal road funding. Georgia has a floating law that allows an officer to make a determination at
.08 with .10 as the absolute limit. By not changing the law, Georgia would lose up to $200 million over five
years from the federal government.
The bill also added language to combat “road rage.” House Bill 385 sets up the offense of aggressive driving, which will count six points against a driver’s license. Aggressive driving is defined as operating a motor vehicle with the intent to annoy, harass, molest, intimidate, injure or obstruct another
person. Those convicted could face up to 12 months in jail and $5,000 in fines. This bill passed overwhelmingly, 171 to 2.
