In re C. E. H.

JOHNSON, Presiding Judge.

On September 22, 2007, a sheriffs deputy issued juvenile C. E. H. three Uniform Traffic Citations (“UTCs”) for (a) failure to obey a traffic control device — red light, (b) driving under the influence of alcohol — under 21, and (c) reckless driving. According to OCGA § 15-11-73, juvenile traffic offenses, such as running a red light, are treated differently from more serious traffic offenses, such as driving under the influence of alcohol and reckless driving. The more serious traffic offenses are considered acts of delinquency.1
