Georgia Super Speeder

Georgia Super Speeder

Contrary to popular belief, the “super speeder” designation is not an independent offense nor does it impact the court’s sentencing. The super speeder classification only means that the driver will incur an additional monetary penalty, imposed by the state (not the court), above and beyond whatever fine was paid to the court. The additional fine amount for super speeder tickets is $200.00.


  • When is someone considered a “super speeder”? Under Georgia law, if you are convicted of speeding 75 MPH or greater on a two-lane road, or 85 MPH or greater on any other road or highway in the state you are considered a “super speeder.” There is no difference in the number of points or the categorization of the offense. 


  • When do I have to pay the $200.00 super speeder fine? If convicted of speeding 75+ on a two-lane road, or 85+ on any road or highway in the state, you will receive a notice from the Department of Driver Services (DDS) via mail notifying you of the penalty and instructing you how to pay it. 


  • What happens if I don’t pay the super speeder fine? Failure to pay a super speeder fine will result in a license suspension. You will have 120 days after receiving notice to pay the penalty. Driving with a suspended license can result in your immediate arrest if stopped for any violation.


  • What if I’m not licensed in Georgia? You will still have to pay the super speeder fine and failure to do so will still result in the suspension of your ability to drive in Georgia and likely your home state as well. 


  • What if I’m under 21 years old? Georgia law treats drivers under 21 differently than those who are over 21. For under 21 drivers, conviction of any single offense carrying 4+ points results in a license suspension. For drivers under 18, the cumulation of 4+ points in any 12-month period triggers a suspension. Conviction for speeding 24 MPH or greater results in a minimum of 4 points, and likely automatically constitutes a super speeder offense. 


  • How can a lawyer help me if I’m facing a super speeder ticket? An experienced traffic attorney who is familiar with Georgia super speeder law can help you in this situation by thoroughly reviewing your case, assessing possible defenses, and negotiating with the prosecutor to try and lower the speed so that it no longer qualifies as a super speeder violation. This not only saves you money, but also a possible license suspension.
