Georgia highway markers memorialize DUI victims
Georgia has slowly begun erecting highway signs memorializing people killed by drunk drivers. To be eligible, a person must have been killed by a drunken driver since May 13, 2004, the date the law was signed. Georgia had 450 drunken-driving fatalities that year. The death also must have occurred on a state or federal highway and the markers go up only after a guilty plea or conviction.

My son was killed by a drunk driver on I-16 4/07. The offending driver was also killed, therefore, he will never formerly be convicted by a judge or jury. However, there is a police report which confirms the fault.
What's the application process to request a memorial in memory of my son? Please advise.
