Attention all georgia riders.

The state and local LE is currently setting up road stops with motorcyclists as the primary target. They got a federal grant to set up these road blocks.

They will be looking for DOT approved helmets, license, tag, insurance,good tires, properly working lights, and alcohol.

I know of one rider already who was ticketed for a non-DOT violation on I85.

So if you are in Georgia, get your stuff straight before you head out.

Non-DOT helmet or something else (turn signals, lenses, etc)?

Shortly before I left GA in late 2008 I had a coworker in Peachtree City that was riding a 250cc Chinese scooter with a novelty helmet and no registration while trying to pass it off as a 50cc scooter. He got pulled over once before I left and told the cop that 50cc doesn't need to be registered. The cop didn't question that it was 50cc but asked him if he was sure about the 50cc and under not requiring registration and insurance thing because he had never heard of it (scooters are NOT popular in GA!).
