So, You've Gone Super Speedy: What Now?
First, a quick reality check. Super speeder status applies if you were clocked doing 85 mph or more on a highway or 75 mph or faster on a two-lane road. Ouch. You'll receive a separate notification from the Department of Driver Services (DDS) on top of your speeding ticket.
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.
This notification comes with an extra $200 super speeder fee, because apparently, a regular speeding ticket just wasn't enough punishment for your inner race car driver.
QuickTip: Short pauses improve understanding.

QuickTip: Skim the intro, then dive deeper.

- Online: Dust off your credit card and head to the Georgia DDS website (https://dds.georgia.gov/georgia-licenseid/general-license-topics/pay-fees-and-fines). You'll need your citation info and the magic from the transaction letter in the super speeder notice.
- By Mail: The old-fashioned way! Send a check, money order, or cashier's check (made payable to the DDS) to the address provided in the notice. Don't forget to include a copy of the notice for reference!
- In Person: Feeling social? Head to your local DDS customer service center. Be sure to bring your super speeder notice for a smooth transaction.
Pro Tip: No matter which method you choose, pay it off within 120 days. Otherwise, your license might be suspended, and that's a whole new level of inconvenience.
Tip: Read in a quiet space for focus.
