Impact of the Offense of Driving on an Expired License
A driver may decide to drive even though his or her license is expired out of necessity or emergency. Also, it may frequently occur that drivers are unaware their licenses have expired and so will drive without even knowing that they may be breaking the law. In these situations, your attorney should carefully review all aspects of your case in order to determine exactly how to build the most effective defense strategy.
For example, what if an investigation uncovered an error in mailing your driver's license renewal information or notice that your license was expiring? Any factor such as this, however small, may be used by an attorney to strengthen your case.
What is Georgia’s Grace Period for an Expired License?
A drivers license in Georgia may be renewed up to 150 days before the expiration date. If your driver's license has expired, you are allowed a 2 year grace period to renew it. If it has been expired for 2 years or more, then you will be required to pass the following tests: road signs, road rules, behind-the-wheel test, and eye test.
