Road, Transport & Parking Offences

Driving Without License Defense

What triggers Article 121?

Driving without a right or with a suspended right, and handing a vehicle to a minor or a person without a right. The fines range from 500 to 1500 lari.

What is a repeated violation?

A new commission of this violation within 1 year. It entails a 1500 lari fine or administrative arrest for up to 15 days.

How is an unpaid fine converted?

By a surcharge of double the fine, but not more than 500 lari; if unpaid within the period — by 6 months' suspension of the right to drive.

When is a person admitted to the examination?

A person without a driving right is admitted to the examination after paying the imposed fine.

My driving right has been suspended — how do I appeal the decision and recover the right?

Challenging a suspension decision is the task of a separate service — "Appeal of a Driving-Licence Suspension" — while the reduction of the term and the return of the licence are covered by "Restoration of a Suspended Driving Right and Return of the Licence — Reduction of the Term". Plan the sequence of defense and restoration steps together with a lawyer so that the appeal deadlines are not lost.

How is the fine imposed for this violation appealed?

The appeal route depends on whether the fine was imposed on the spot or through photo or video fixation: for an on-the-spot fine see the service "Appeal of an On-the-Spot Fine — the Penalty Receipt and the 20% Discount Decision", and for a fine recorded by photo or video fixation — "Appeal of a Fine Recorded on Video or Photo".

What Administrative Article 121 Covers

Article 121 of the Georgian Administrative Offences Code governs two types of conduct: driving a vehicle by a person who has no right to drive or whose right has been suspended for another violation, and handing over a vehicle for driving to a minor or to a person who has no such right or whose right is suspended. The distinction matters because in the first case liability falls on the person carrying out the operation of the vehicle, and in the second — on its owner or proprietor. Disputes often turn precisely on who was the actual driver and whose decision it was to entrust the vehicle — that determines which part of the article applies and, with it, the amount of the fine and the subject of liability.
