Super Speeder Ticket Lawyers
Under the provisions of this law, any driver convicted of a violation will now be classified by the state as a "Super Speeder" and subject to the above-mentioned fee. The law is designed to get tough on high-risk drivers who endanger other motorists and ignore warnings to slow down.
What is Super Speeder
Georgia's "Super Speeder Law" adds escalated penalties on a driver convicted of speeding at 75 mph or more on a two-lane road or at 85 mph and above on any road or highway in Georgia.
In addition to steep fines and local court costs, a $200 Super Speeder fine must be paid to the State.
Failure to pay the Super Speeder fee within 120 days of official notice will result in the suspension of the offender’s license or driving privileges.
Points on Your License
A Super Speeder ticket does add points on your driving record, other than what would normally happen from a traffic ticket.
License Suspension & Reinstatement
Payment of a $50 reinstatement fee in addition to the $200 Super Speeder fee will then be required to reinstate their license or driving privileges.
