BRIDGES v. THE STATE.

McMURRAY, Presiding Judge.

Defendant appeals his convictions for reckless driving, failure to yield right of way and improper backing. Held:

In two enumerations of error, defendant contends that the failure to yield right of way offense merged, as a matter of fact, with the improper backing offense and that these two offenses merged, as a matter of fact, with the reckless driving offense, resulting in the erroneous imposition of separate sentences for each offense. These assertions, however, were "not raised below and no objection was made to the sentences imposed. Thus, the matter was not preserved for appellate review. Hall v. State, 200 Ga. App. 585, 588 (5) ( 409 S.E.2d 221); Johncox v. State, 189 Ga. App. 188 (1) ( 375 S.E.2d 139); LeGallienne v. State, 180 Ga. App. 108, 111 (4) ( 348 S.E.2d 471)." Henderson v. State, 218 Ga. App. 311, 312 (3) ( 460 S.E.2d 876).

Judgment affirmed. Johnson and Ruffin, JJ., concur.

McMURRAY, Presiding Judge.
