Yes. 1 ACT Lawrenceville is a DDS-licensed Third Party Tester (TPT #000673), so you can sit your official Georgia road test right here at 377 W Pike St — no DDS office appointment needed. You can use our vehicle and our insurance. Slots book quickly; call (770) 274-4223 to confirm availability.
In most cases yes — if this is your first defensive driving election within the past 5 years and the offense qualifies under Georgia law, our DDS-certified 6-hour course lets you submit a certificate to court and have the ticket dismissed. The $95 fee is state-mandated. Classes run in-person here in Lawrenceville and via live Zoom — the certificate is the same either way.
Yes, if there's enough time. The DUI Risk Reduction program is 20 hours over 3 consecutive days (Fri–Sun or Tue–Thu). Once you complete the class, your DDS certificate is emailed by 5:30pm the following business day. If your hearing is within 2 weeks, call us immediately at (770) 274-4223 — weekend sessions fill fast.
They're two distinct steps — both required, both included in the $360 total. The NEEDS Assessment ($100) is an evaluation completed first; the 20-hour Risk Reduction class ($260, plus book) follows it. The Clinical Evaluation is a separate service required only after a 2nd DUI within 5 years.
