On January 2, 2010, a new Super Speeder law went into effect in Georgia that adds a hefty fee to people who are convicted of excessive speeding. This new fee is in addition to what Gwinnett County or any other county in Georgia can charge you. These two fines must be paid separately, and a conviction can also result in damaging points to your driving record and increased insurance rates.
Super Speeder Conditions and Penalties
Super speeder fees apply to motorists convicted of:
- Speeding 75 mph or more on two-lane roads,
- Speeding 85 mph or over on any type of road in Georgia
The penalties for this type of conviction are costly. The state of Georgia will now collect an additional $200 state fee for a super speeder offense in addition to the original price of the speeding ticket issued by local law enforcement. If you fail to pay the super speeder fee separately from the original ticket price, another $50 fee can be levied on you, and a suspension of license and driving privileges can also result. All of these consequences apply to out-of-state drivers as well, including drivers from North Carolina and anyone else who crosses through Georgia and is issued a speeding ticket that meets the super speeder requirements.

While many people are unaware that you have rights to contest a ticket and believe that just paying a traffic ticket is the easiest solution, the truth is that there can often be a mistake made at the time the ticket is issued. Not having a lawyer like Chris Adams evaluate your case can result in much more severe penalties such as higher insurance premiums, bigger fines and even a license suspension. His goal is always to minimize the consequences and avoid additional fines, points or other penalties.
