In case you haven’t heard, this entire week, the Georgia Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS) and law enforcement agencies throughout the State of Georgia are teaming up with their counterparts in Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, and Tennessee in “Operation Southern Shield,” a week-long speed prevention and enforcement initiative in each of their respective states on interstates, major highways and local roads.
If you’re speeding over the limit, you could face fines under the Super Speeder law.
Georgia’s “Super Speeder Law” defines a Super Speeder as a driver convicted of speeding at 75 mph or more on a two-lane road or at 85 mph and above on any road or highway in Georgia. In addition to the fines and fees paid to the jurisdiction where the speeding offense took place, a $200 Super Speeder state fee is to be paid by the convicted driver to the State of Georgia.
Failure to pay the Super Speeder fee within 120 days of official notice will result in the suspension of the offender’s license or driving privileges. Payment of a $50 reinstatement fee, in addition to the $200 Super Speeder fee, will then be required to reinstate their license or driving privileges.
