Buckle Up, Buttercup: You Might Be a Super Speeder in Georgia!
Ever been cruising down a Georgia highway, feeling the wind in your hair (or, you know, through your sunroof), only to be pulled over by a sheriff with a steely glint in their eye? Well, if you were hammering down the asphalt at warp speed, you might have just earned yourself a not-so-super title: Super Speeder.
What is A Super Speeder In Georgia |
Need for Speed? Need for a New License?
Don't worry, this doesn't mean you're suddenly Captain Falcon. A Super Speeder in Georgia is a driver caught traveling at some truly outrageous speeds:
- 75 mph or more on a two-lane road (Imagine trying to pass Brenda in her minivan on a country road at that speed. Shudder)
- 85 mph or faster on any other road or highway (Even the Autobahn would raise an eyebrow at that).
This little designation comes with a price tag, on top of the regular speeding ticket. We're talking a cool $200 Super Speeder fee that goes straight to the state. Ouch!
But here's the real kicker: failing to pay that fee within 120 days means your license gets suspended. So, that need for speed might turn into a need for an Uber for a while.
QuickTip: Scan quickly, then go deeper where needed.
So You've Been Branded a Super Speeder... Now What?
Don't fret, speed demon! Here's what you should do:
- Accept your fate: You were a Super Speeder, embrace it (or don't, speeding is bad).
- Look for the mail: The state will send you a friendly (or not-so-friendly) reminder about the fee.
- Cough up the dough: Pay that $200 fee online, by mail, or in person. Think of it as an investment in future speeding tickets...er, I mean, for the greater good of Georgia's roads.
Pro-Tip: Paying the fee on time is much cheaper than getting a ride everywhere.
