ok. I will be keeping my GA DL when i live in NC. I read up on it and im not required to get a NC DL if im attentening a college in NC and planning on comming back to my home state. YAY!
ALSO, Georgia is NOT part of the "Driver License Compact" so if i do get a ticket, GA will never put it on my record correct???

4 Points:

At-Fault accident resulting in property damage in excess of $1,500, but less than $2,500.
1 Point:
All other moving violations or at-fault accidents resulting in property damage of $1500 or less and bodily injury of $500 or less.
EXCEPTIONS: No points will be charged for: Speeding 10 mph or less over the posted speed limit provided that (1) the violation did not occur in a school zone; and (2) there is a clean driving record for the previous three years. [BUT, if a person gets a second moving violation within the three year period, then the points for BOTH tickets are assessed!!]. Additionally, each household can use one prayer for judgment continued (pjc) every three years as long as no one else in the household has used a PJC during that time. If multiple violations occur, only the violation with the higher point value is assessed. Lastly, points exceptions exist for certain at-fault accidents involving contact with animals or fowl, flying gravel or falling objects. - http://www.plylerlaw.com/in.html

So If the PSL is 70mph, I cant be cited for doing 80mph? But then I would get 2 points?
And what if the PSL is 65 mph, I can do 75mph without being cited?
