Orlando Super Speeder Defense Attorney

Florida’s new “super speeder” law (Florida Statute 316.1922) went into effect on July 1, 2025. The new law creates serious criminal penalties for certain dangerous or excessive speeding offenses that were previously handled as non-criminal traffic infractions.

Super Speeder Charges Under Florida Law

Under Florida law, drivers can now face criminal charges for operating a motor vehicle 50 mph or more above the posted speed limit, or for driving 100 mph or more in a manner that threatens the safety of others or interferes with other vehicles. These new super speeder charges in Florida significantly increase the consequences for high-speed driving and can expose drivers to jail time, a permanent criminal record, and a driver’s license suspension.

Penalties for Super Speeder Charges

A first offense under Florida’s Super Speeder law may be charged as a misdemeanor punishable by up to 90 days in jail.

A second conviction within 5 years of a prior offense can carry severe penalties, including a mandatory 6-12 month driver’s license suspension.

For many drivers, these charges can affect employment, insurance rates, commercial driver’s licenses, and even their freedom. It is critical to take these charges seriously from the very beginning and hire a qualified criminal traffic defense attorney to protect your rights and start planning your defense.

Defenses to Super Speeder Charges in Florida

Defending a Super Speeder charge requires a detail oriented and technical defense. An experienced criminal defense attorney with knowledge of how law enforcement officers measure speed and what training, certification, and calibration of instruments are required to substantiate a radar reading in Court can be essential to protecting your rights and fighting for the best outcome in your case.

In 100+ mph cases, the prosecution must prove that the driving behavior threatened public safety or interfered with another vehicle, creating an additional factual defense which a qualified and skilled defense lawyer can use to challenge the prosecution’s case.
