Honestly I wouldn’t use your Nolo on this ticket. An under 21 isn’t all that bad an wont really hurt your driving record or insurance payment. Usually the longer you go without an infraction they tend to be lenient with smaller tickets. Since this is your first ticket they are likely to drop it to 14 and you should make out with just a small fine/court fees. Also don’t bank on the officer not being there. GA state law does not require and officer to be present on all traffic violations. Ive had many a court appearance where the officer was not there and I still got owned. On a side note and in my experience (12 tickets to date never losing my license) if you have the money, get a lawyer. Usually for college students/ppl around that age group they work out some pretty decent prices. Most lawyers can get the charge of an under 21 completely dropped all together. Ive had 2 charges of too fast for conditions that were dropped when getting a lawyer, which otherwise would have ended up costing me more in court fee's and insurance premiums in the long run. Thats also not to mention the 5 other tickets that i should have definitely lost my license on. Goodluck!
