super speeder law

A "super speeder" label can hit both your wallet and your case outcome, because it usually means extra fines on top of a regular speeding ticket and can make a driver look especially reckless if a crash leads to an injury claim. That matters fast when the speed involved turns a routine citation into something insurers, prosecutors, and civil lawyers treat more seriously.

Generally, a super speeder law is a state rule that adds penalties when a driver is caught at very high speeds, often above a set threshold no matter what the posted limit was. The best-known example is Georgia's Super Speeder Law under O.C.G.A. ยง 40-6-189, first enacted in 2010, which imposes an additional state fee for driving 75 mph or more on a two-lane road or 85 mph or more on any road. It does not replace the original speeding charge; it stacks on top of it.

New Hampshire does not have a statute formally called a "super speeder law." Instead, extreme speeding may be charged under ordinary speeding rules or escalated to reckless driving, which can carry steeper consequences. In an injury claim, very high speed can strengthen arguments about negligence, comparative fault, or even punitive-style allegations depending on the facts. And where severe crashes are involved, treatment may end up at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, where the financial fallout is no small side issue.
