About this service
Violations of road-traffic rules are the most widespread administrative offences in Georgia, and their entire regime — from the driver's conduct to the appeal of fines and the deadlines for payment — is regulated by the Code of Administrative Offences. This page brings together the fines and the procedural instruments with which a decision can be challenged: the right to appeal, the procedure and deadlines of appeal, as well as the deadlines for voluntary payment and the rules of the surcharge.
Speeding and the most frequent driver violations
Exceeding the established speed by more than 15 km/h but by not more than 40 km/h entails a fine of 100 GEL, and by more than 40 km/h — 300 GEL. For a driver performing regular passenger transportation within municipal boundaries the same violation rises to 400 GEL; the creation of an accident-prone situation costs 400 GEL, and light damage to property or health — 600 GEL. A violation of the rules with respect to pedestrians is assessed at 40 GEL and its repetition within one year at 150 GEL. Among other typical fines: driving on the sidewalk — 200 GEL; crossing a continuous axial line — 50 GEL, repeated — 100 GEL, and crossing it while driving in the opposite direction — 200 GEL; transit movement within the administrative boundaries of Tbilisi — 500 GEL; drifting — 300 GEL, and drifting with damage — 500 GEL together with suspension of the driving licence for six months.
Driving under the influence of alcohol
A special regime applies to driving in a state of alcoholic intoxication. Where the ethanol content in the driver's blood is more than 0.3 but does not exceed 0.7 per mille, this entails suspension of the driving licence for six months; a content above 0.7 per mille, as well as evading the check, entails suspension for one year. Committing this violation during the period of suspension entails a fine of 2,000 GEL, administrative arrest of five to fifteen days and extension of the suspension by one year; a repeated act by a person without a driving licence — 3,000 GEL and arrest of ten to fifteen days. Light damage caused together with the violation means a 2,000 GEL fine and a three-year suspension. An important guarantee exists: within two hours of the test the driver may apply to a medical or expert institution for a clinical-laboratory examination, and if the state is not confirmed, he is released from the sanction; the concentration of alcohol in the human organism decreases by 0.15 per mille every hour.
