The Consequences Of Violating The Florida Super Speeder Law
Anyone who has driven I-95 has seen the people recklessly driving at 50+ mph over the speed limit. If you have, you have also seen the resulting accidents this creates. That is why last year the Florida Legislature passed the Florida Super Speeder Law.
In fact, the Florida Highway Patrol and local sheriffs have documented hundreds of drivers exceeding 100 mph in recent years. Drag racing has also been on the rise in this area, despite numerous crackdowns and public safety campaigns discouraging it. Florida lawmakers say this new law is designed to save lives and reduce deadly crashes.
Effective July 1, 2025, the Super Speeder Law criminalizes “dangerous excessive speeding.”
The new law is defined a “Super Speeder” as anyone going 50+ mph over the posted speed limit. The law also defines a Super Speeder as someone traveling at 100+ mph on any road.
In other words, “just speeding” in the Sunshine State is now an arrestable, criminal offense. This also means potential jail time and criminal charges.
If you’re arrested under this new Super Speeder Law, knowing your rights is essential. You also need an experienced bondsman for getting out of jail quickly.
What Is the Florida Super Speeder Law?
The new law classifies dangerous excessive speeding as a criminal offense. This is no longer just a traffic ticket. It is now a serious charge and can land you in jail.
You’re Considered a “Super Speeder” If:
- You drive 50+ mph over the speed limit
- You drive over 100 mph anywhere in Florida
What are the penalties?
- 1st Offense – 30 days in jail and/or a $500 fine.
- 2nd Offense – 90 days in jail and/or a $1000 fine.
- 3rd Offennse – Suspension of your drivers’s license for upto 1 year.
Bail Bonds for Super Speeder Arrests
Unfortunately, this means some drivers will find themselves relegated to passengers, albeit in the back of a police car… Under the new law, drivers are being arrested and taken to jail, even for first-time offenses. That means you or a loved one may need a licensed bail bondsman.
How Bail Bonds Work:
After being arrested and booked into jail, a judge will set your bail amount during a bond court hearing.
- You or a family member contacts a licensed bail bondsman or bail bonding agency.
- The bail bondsman is paid $100 or 10% of the bail amount for each charge (the “premium fee”). Some bondsmen may also require a separate security deposit, known as bond collateral, in addition to the premium fee.
- A bail agent goes to the jail and posts the bond(s) for your full bond amount.
- You’re released from jail and must attend all court dates while out on bond.
