Florida’s new "Super Speeder Law," part of House Bill 351, took effect on July 1, 2025, and it marks a major shift in how extreme speeding violations are treated. Under the law, if you're caught driving 50 miles per hour or more above the posted speed limit, or if you're traveling 100 miles per hour or faster in a way that endangers others, you are no longer facing just a traffic ticket. You're facing a criminal charge.
The key change here is reclassification. What used to be a civil traffic infraction is now a misdemeanor. That means the case is prosecuted in criminal court, with real consequences including possible jail time, mandatory court appearances, and the lasting impact of a criminal record. This law reflects the Florida Legislature’s growing concern over the public safety risks associated with extreme speeding.
From a defense perspective, the law is about more than speed. The prosecution must also prove that your driving was objectively dangerous. That involves looking at traffic conditions, time of day, proximity to other vehicles or pedestrians, and your behavior behind the wheel. This opens several avenues for defense.
We challenge the evidence behind the speed measurement, question whether the conditions truly posed a danger, and explore every opportunity for resolution that can keep your record clean. If you're facing charges under this law, having a private attorney by your side from the start gives you the best chance at a favorable outcome.
