It was not any kind of chemical or anything, just pure water, and they said it’s littering.
#GRASS CLIPPINGS MOTORCYCLE DRIVER#
The example I give is from a colleague of mine, who as a prosecutor saw a truck driver and his company face prosecution under the Georgia littering statute for the truck driving down the road dripping water from its tank. We have seen cases in the past where prosecutors have gone after folks for much less than just grass clippings under that statute. It does not specifically mention grass clippings or another sort of natural debris, but I think it would fit in. My legal interpretation is that this would likely fall under Georgia’s littering stature. However, Georgia needs it and my understanding is it’s something that ABATE is going to start working on legislatively here in the future, which I think is going to be great for motorcycle safety. They have a state statute on point that says it’s illegal to do this, Georgia does not. There is no exact statute on point, unlike North Carolina for instance. So, what I’m asked oftentimes is – “Is it illegal to leave grass clippings on the road in the state of Georgia?” – and the answer that I have given is - your typical legal answer, which is yes and no. In Georgia, Is It Illegal To Leave Glass Clippings On The Road? As we know as motorcycle riders, this is like driving on glass for a motorcycle. These clippings are not getting cleaned up, and no one thinks about this from the perspective of a motorcycle rider. This is also happening on state highways. What we’re seeing is that mainly residents in county roads where folks are mowing the lawn, are blowing grass clips onto the road. What I’m referring to is the cutting of grass and blowing the clippings onto the roadway, without cleaning them up. I’ve seen a lot of people talking about it in motorcycle groups, and as a Cumming motorcycle accident lawyer, I have actually just had an accident here recently by a motorcycle rider losing control. Today I want to talk about a very dangerous situation that has come to the forefront this summer.
