It is every driver’s responsibility to know the rules of the road in Georgia. Pope & Howard P.C. has assisted numerous Georgians achieve maximum recovery when severely or fatally injured because a negligent driver ignored Georgia driving rules.

- Have their car properly licensed: Georgia requires that all automobiles must carry and annually update tag showing proof that the vehicle meets standards of the road
- Be insured: It is required in Georgia that a driver maintains liability coverage for the vehicle, with a minimum of $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident
