A Super Speeder in Georgia Receives 4 Points on Their License
A Super Speeder violation in Georgia adds 4 points to your driving record for speeding 75+ mph on a 2-way road or 85+ mph anywhere. This also includes a $200 state fee on top of local fines, requiring separate payment to avoid license suspension.
What Qualifies as a Super Speeder?
- 75+ mph on any 2-lane road (including divided highways).
- 85+ mph on any road (interstates, multi-lane highways, etc.).
- Applies to all drivers, including out-of-state license holders.
Penalties for a Super Speeder Violation
- 4 points added to your driving record (standard speeding tickets add 2-3 points).
- $200 Super Speeder fee (mandatory, paid to the state separately from court fines).
- Failure to pay the fee within 120 days results in license suspension.
- Possible insurance premium increases (points typically stay on record for 2-3 years).
Super Speeder vs. Standard Speeding Ticket
| Factor | Super Speeder (75+/85+ mph) | Standard Speeding (15-24 mph over) | Minor Speeding (<15 mph over) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Points Added | 4 | 3 | 2 |
| State Fee | $200 | $0 | $0 |
| License Suspension Risk | Yes (if fee unpaid) | No (unless 15+ points in 24 months) | No |
| Insurance Impact | High (likely premium spike) | Moderate | Low |
How to Handle a Super Speeder Ticket
- Pay the court fine (varies by county; often $100-$500+).
- Pay the $200 state fee via the official DDS portal within 120 days.
- Check for defensive driving courses-some may reduce points (but not the Super Speeder fee).
- Monitor your driving record to ensure points are applied correctly.
Can You Avoid the Super Speeder Fee?
No. The $200 fee is mandatory for all Super Speeder convictions, even if you:
- Plead to a lesser charge (e.g., reckless driving).
- Receive a reduced speed in court.
- Are an out-of-state driver (fee still applies).
Only dismissal of the ticket (e.g., through legal defense) avoids the fee.
