We may be able to help you with your Gwinnett County Speeding Ticket. Starting on January 1, 2010 the State of Georgia put into place the new Super Speeder Law pursuant to O.C.G.A. 40-6-189. The new fees and punishments apply to motorists convicted of speeding 75 mph or more on 2 lane roads or speeding 85 mph and over on any roads in Georgia. With I-85, US 78 and GA 316 all running through Gwinnett County, the Recorder’s Court of Gwinnett County handles a huge volume of these types of offenses (along with DUI’s and other traffic charges) from local and out of state drivers.
Out of State Drivers Ticketed in Gwinnett County Georgia
The out of state drivers ticketed in Gwinnett County are still required to pay the super speeder fees with the DDS imposing a suspension of their license if they fail to. Most tickets issued by the Gwinnett Police or Sheriff’s Department will be heard in the Gwinnett Recorder’s Court with some more serious matters being heard in the State Court of Gwinnett County. Drivers under the age of 21 will face suspension of their license for any speeding ticket of 24 mph or more above the legal limit.
A large percentage of the tickets issued could be a mistake with most drivers unaware that they do have rights. Most of these traffic violations are uncontested in court with the drivers simply paying their ticket, only to find out later they now face higher insurance premiums, more points on their driving record or even a suspension of their driver’s license.
