FAQ’s

Florida’s “Super Speeder” law, officially House Bill 351, is new legislation effective July 1, 2025, that significantly increases penalties for drivers who dangerously exceed speed limits. Its main goal is to reduce dangerous driving and improve road safety.

Under HB 351, “dangerous excessive speeding” is defined as driving 50 mph or more over the posted speed limit, or operating a vehicle at 100 mph or more in a way that endangers others or interferes with vehicle operation.

For a first offense under Florida’s “Super Speeder” law, a driver could face up to 30 days in jail, a fine of up to $500, or both.

If a driver commits a second or subsequent “Super Speeder” offense within five years of a prior conviction, the penalties increase to up to 90 days in jail, a fine of up to $1,000, or both. Additionally, their driver’s license can be suspended for a period ranging from 180 days to one year.

No, under the “Super Speeder” law, offenders are required to make a mandatory court appearance before a judge. There is no option to simply pay the fine by mail to resolve the violation.

The “Super Speeder” law represents a shift towards stricter enforcement. It means that exceeding speed limits by a dangerous amount now carries criminal consequences, such as potential jail time and mandatory court appearances, rather than just civil penalties like fines that can be paid by mail.

Legal representation from an experienced traffic attorney can provide crucial assistance. This includes offering guidance and defense strategies tailored to the specific case, support during mandatory court proceedings, and efforts to minimize or avoid driver’s license suspension.

Florida’s new “Super Speeder” law (House Bill 351) will take effect on July 1, 2025.
