Yes, under Florida’s new Super Speeder Law, a first-time conviction can absolutely result in jail time. The law, which went into effect on went into effect on July 1, 2025, classifies a first-time offense as a misdemeanor. That carries the potential for up to 30 days in county jail, a $500 fine, or both.
This is not a citation you can just pay and forget about. A mandatory court appearance is required, and judges are under pressure to take these cases seriously. That means even a first-time offender could face incarceration, especially if aggravating factors exist such as dangerous traffic conditions, prior violations, or reckless behavior.
A private defense attorney is critical in these cases. We look closely at how your speed was measured, whether the radar equipment was properly calibrated, and whether the conditions justified a claim that your driving was "dangerous." We also work to secure outcomes like withheld adjudication, deferred prosecution, or amending the charge.
Taking these charges lightly can have long-term consequences. Don’t wait until your court date to start preparing a defense.
