Florida Super Speeder Ticket Lawyer
You were clocked at 100+ mph, or 50 over the limit. That's not a standard speeding ticket. It's a criminal charge with jail time on the table.
What Is Florida's Super Speeder Law?
Florida's super speeder law applies if you're driving 100+ mph, or 50 mph or more over the posted limit. Found in § 318.14(13) and cross-referenced with § 316.1926, it carries penalties far beyond a normal ticket. New 2025 updates added mandatory court appearances and possible jail time for drivers who hit either threshold.
What Happens If You Do Nothing?
The fines and license consequences escalate fast, and they don't reset unless enough time passes between offenses.
First offense: $1,000 fine, court appearance required, up to 30 days in jail possible.
Second offense within five years: $2,500 fine, up to 90 days in jail, and automatic one-year license suspension.
Third or subsequent offense: $5,000 fine, up to 5 years in prison, and 10-year license revocation.
Insurance: A conviction tends to spike your premium, and some insurers cancel coverage outright.
Do I Have to Go to Court for a Super Speeder Ticket?
Yes. You can't pay this one online. The law requires you to personally appear before a judge. Skipping that step isn't an option, and showing up without a lawyer means you're negotiating a felony-track charge alone.
Can a Lawyer Reduce a Super Speeder Charge?
Depending on the facts of the case, it may be possible to reduce the charge or negotiate a different outcome. Defenses include challenging the calibration of the radar or lidar device, questioning whether the stop itself was legal, or negotiating the charge down to a standard speeding ticket or reckless driving plea. Ticket Shield is lawyer-led, not an app, not a ticket mill, not a chatbot reading you a script. We look at the officer's training, the pacing method used, and every procedural step between the stop and the citation.
What Happens If I Fight It vs. Just Plead Guilty?
Pleading guilty locks in the full fine, a conviction on your record, and the scheduled license consequences, with no room to negotiate. Fighting it with Ticket Shield means we push to negotiate the fine down, work toward avoiding a conviction, look for alternatives that protect your license, and aim to reduce or avoid the insurance hit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a super speeder ticket a criminal charge in Florida?
Yes. Unlike a standard speeding ticket, a super speeder offense requires a mandatory court appearance, and a third offense is charged as a third-degree felony.
Can I just pay the fine online instead of going to court?
No. Florida's super speeder law specifically requires you to appear before a judge in person. This is one of the key differences from a regular speeding citation.
Will a super speeder conviction show up on my driving record?
Yes. A conviction stays on your record, can trigger a license suspension or revocation depending on the offense number, and typically raises your insurance premiums.
What's the difference between a super speeder charge and reckless driving?
A super speeder charge is based specifically on speed thresholds, 100+ mph or 50 mph over the limit. Reckless driving is a separate charge based on the manner of driving. In some cases, a lawyer can negotiate a super speeder charge down to reckless driving or a standard speeding ticket.
How soon should I contact a lawyer after receiving a super speeder ticket?
As soon as possible. You have a limited window before your mandatory court date, and evidence like radar or lidar calibration records is easier to challenge early.
