Not quite this will go on his criminal record as a misdemeanor.

Not supporting the law but honestly I've never heard of someone getting a ticket vs going to jail in Georgia

I run background checks every day. A speeding ticket goes on your record much like a marijuana citation where you are allowed to get back in the car and drive away.

For those that don't understand GA law, it was SOP to release a person who showed no signs of using marijuana but did have the amount he possessed. Similar to when we break the law speeding. We get a citation but get to go home.
