Let's face it, cruising down an open highway with the wind in your hair (or helmet, if you're a safety-conscious two-wheeler) can be pretty darn tempting. But here in Georgia, there's a fine line between feeling the need for speed and becoming a certified Super Speeder.

So, buckle up, gearheads, because we're about to break the sound barrier... of knowledge! (Okay, maybe not that fast.)
In Georgia, the Super Speeder Law throws a wrench into those lead-foot fantasies. This little law applies to drivers who get caught exceeding the speed limit by a certain amount, basically throwing them into a special category of speed demons (cue dramatic music).
But how fast is too fast?
Here's where things get interesting, depending on the kind of road you're cruising on:
QuickTip: Slow down if the pace feels too fast.
- Two-Lane Terror: If you're blazing down a two-lane road and the speedometer nudges 75 mph or higher, congratulations (but not really), you've earned yourself a Super Speeder ticket.
- Highway Hero (or Maybe Not): For those of you on highways or other roads with more than two lanes, the threshold is a bit higher. Only if you're caught going 85 mph or above will the Super Speeder sirens start wailing.
Why the Big Deal About Super Speeding?
Being a Super Speeder isn't all about bragging rights (though some folks might try). It comes with a hefty $200 Super Speeder fee, on top of any regular speeding ticket fines. That's like a surprise bill for going too fast – ouch!
But wait, there's more! Super Speeder status can also land you some not-so-fun extras like:

- Points on your license: Speeding tickets come with points, and Super Speeder tickets add even more. Rack up enough points, and your license could be suspended.
- Increased insurance rates: Insurance companies love safe drivers, and well, Super Speeders aren't exactly poster children for caution.
So, How Fast Can You ACTUALLY Go?
Look, we all like to get where we're going in a decent amount of time. But remember, the speed limit is there for a reason. Obey it, and you'll avoid the whole Super Speeder kerfuffle.
Still itching to push the limits? Maybe invest in a racetrack day instead – it's a much safer (and probably more thrilling) way to quench your need for speed.
