New “Super Speeder” law now in effect
Georgia’s “super speeder” law went into effect a few days ago. It doesn’t create a new offense, but it does increase fines associated with higher speeds. Specifically, going over 85 mph on the highway will cost one an additional $200 on top of whatever fines would otherwise be assessed. On two-lanes roads, the additional fine kicks in at 75 mph. These are seperate fines that will be charged to the driver by the State of Georgia once the state is notified of the violation.
This is a new concept that we assume will lead to lots of litigation. We’ll post as the matter gets sorted out in the courts.
