Florida’s “Super Speeder” Law Now In Effect, Bringing Stiffer Penalties For Excessive Speed
July 6, 2025
Florida’s new “Super Speeder Law,” officially House Bill 351, has taken effect as of July 1st, introducing significant penalties for drivers who exhibit dangerous excessive speeding.
The law targets those traveling more than 50 miles per hour over the posted limit or exceeding 100 miles per hour overall, with consequences ranging from hefty fines to potential jail time and license suspension.
Just minutes after midnight on July 1st, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office demonstrated the immediate impact of the new legislation. Deputies cited a driver going 104 miles per hour in a 70 mile per hour zone.
Under the law, a first offense for “dangerous excessive speeding” could result in a $500 fine, up to 30 days in jail, or both. Repeat offenders face even more severe consequences, including up to 90 days in jail, a $1,000 fine, or both. Committing two such offenses within a five-year period could lead to a one-year suspension of driving privileges.

I remember the same outrage when they made it illegal to drink and drive , or wear seatbelts . It is not a big deal, do not understand why so many people are ulset
@Sam…don’t waste your time typing messages to idiots like “. fl has lost it”
You can’t fix stupid or narcissism . I only hope that people like that really benefit from getting to the next red light before us law abiding, thinking of others, good people. God bless the idiots too, they sure need it.
Some places the speed limit is 70 or 80, doing a 100 is only 20 miles per hour over. This is insane and it will be abused by law enforcement
@Florida has lost it
Cars are better, people are worse.

Here’s a news break for you Mr. Top Gun – public highways aren’t your race track. Speed limits are determined by engineers as safe traveling speeds for a range of legal drivers. Despite what you think – not everyone is a NASCAR Driver or a F-35 wanna-be pilot. SUVs with kids, large trucks, trucks with trailers, mail trucks and never ending road construction are speed limiters. How many DEAD drivers and passengers have you seen cut out of the car by the Jaws of Life? How about burned bodies that had to be identified by dental records? I saw what was left of 4 high school students that were trying to break the sound barrier, and hit a tree. Broadside. Car became a horse shoe. Kids were scooped out for closed casket funerals. If you want to hot dog your car – take it to the track. Cars may be better but the drivers are not.
How is this draconian? 50 over is crazy. It should have been 30. If you are doing 95 in a 45 zone, the penalties SHOULD be steep. You are playing games with the lives of everyone around you. People are crazy.
Florida claims to be some freedom state, but makes so much money off of insanely low speed limits and draconian laws. Cars are better than they have ever been, but the speed limits don’t change, they even go down. Years ago they tried to make racing a felony, and it was thrown out.
How about instead of speeding, make dumbass drivers move out of the left lane, actually enforce morons driving with no head lights, and how about dui stuff be more than some formality.
What a rip off
100MPH! Rookie numbers! If you aint first you last!
Does this include ALL NFL PLAYERS…
LAW IS NOT GOOD ENOUGHT FOR SCHOOL ZONES,DOUBLE THE SPEED IN A SCHOOL ZONE,AUTOMATIC 30 DAYS AND $500 FINE TO START
