As used in this title, the term:

The enumeration in this title of some affirmative defenses shall not be construed as excluding the existence of others.

Since the raising of any affirmative defense admits the doing of the act, but excuses it for mitigating or other circumstances; and requires the proof of the defense raised by a preponderance of the evidence presented by the defense. Why would you ever want to use it in a traffice case? What part of the Constitution of Georgia or of the United States would act as mitigation or other circumstance?
