ToggleWhat Excessive Speeding Means in Maryland
Maryland traffic law treats speed violations on a graduated scale. A person who exceeds the posted limit by 10 to 19 miles per hour may receive a citation carrying one point and a fine. Speeds 20 to 29 mph over the limit typically carry two points and a fine. When a driver exceeds the speed limit by 30 mph or more, the offense is frequently charged as reckless driving, a misdemeanor that carries five points, a fine, and possible jail time of up to 30 days. Vigorous driving, which can include speed‑related conduct, also carries five points. The Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) assigns points for moving violations. Accumulating eight points triggers an administrative hearing; reaching twelve points results in a license revocation. Camera‑issued speed citations, by contrast, are civil violations that carry a $40 fine but no points and no effect on insurance.
Many speeding cases are heard in the District Court of Maryland. For example, the District Court for Montgomery County sits at 191 East Jefferson Street, Rockville, MD 20850; the District Court for Prince George’s County is at 14735 Main Street, Upper Marlboro, MD 20772; and the District Court for Howard County is at 3451 Courthouse Drive, Ellicott City, MD 21043. These courts handle the initial appearance, trial, and any plea discussions. A critical procedural option in Maryland traffic court is Probation Before Judgment (PBJ). If the court grants PBJ, the defendant avoids having points assessed for the offense. This can be the most important outcome a defense attorney can achieve, especially for drivers nearing the eight‑point threshold or those who depend on a clean record for employment. A defendant may also request a jury trial, which transfers the case from the District Court to the Circuit Court.
How Mr. Sris and His Of Counsel Handle Traffic Cases
When a driver retains Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C., the legal team begins by examining every aspect of the traffic stop and the citation. Was the speed‑measuring device properly calibrated? Were the officer’s observations consistent with the evidence? Did the officer follow the required procedures? Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel use their experience to identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s case. One member of the Of Counsel team is a former Maryland Assistant State’s Attorney, which provides firsthand knowledge of how the State prepares and presents traffic cases. That insight guides the firm’s approach in negotiation and at trial.
The firm’s representation focuses on minimizing the long‑term impact of a traffic citation. For speeding charges, this often means pursuing an amendment to a non‑moving violation, obtaining a PBJ, or negotiating a reduction to improper driving where the facts allow. In reckless driving matters, the goal is to avoid the misdemeanor conviction and its collateral consequences—a jail sentence, a substantial fine, and a six‑point entry on the driving record. Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel appear regularly in Maryland District and Circuit Courts and are familiar with the practices of the judges and prosecutors who handle traffic dockets. Throughout the process, the client is kept informed of each step and the options available, so that decisions are made with a clear understanding of the potential outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Super Speeder ticket in Maryland?
Maryland does not have a law labeled “Super Speeder”; that term is used in other states such as Georgia. In Maryland, driving at an excessively high speed may result in a charge of reckless driving, which is a serious misdemeanor carrying up to 6 points, potential jail time, and significant fines. Even ordinary speeding citations add points and can affect your license. If you have received a citation for driving at a high rate of speed, you are likely facing consequences under Maryland’s reckless driving or speeding statutes, not a separate Super Speeder law. An attorney can explain the specific charge and help you navigate the court process.
What are the penalties for excessive speeding in Maryland?
Penalties depend on how far over the speed limit you were traveling and whether you are charged with a criminal offense. For speeding 10–19 mph over the limit, you may receive 1 point and a fine. Speeds 20–29 mph over typically result in 2 points and a fine. Driving 30 mph or more above the limit is often charged as reckless driving, which carries 5 points, a fine, and possible jail time. Reckless driving is a misdemeanor that can stay on your record and affect employment background checks. Accumulating 8 points triggers an MVA hearing; 12 points leads to revocation.
How can a lawyer help with a speeding ticket in Maryland?
An experienced traffic lawyer can challenge the evidence, negotiate with the prosecutor, and work to minimize the impact on your driving record. A lawyer may identify procedural errors, question the accuracy of speed‑measuring equipment, or present mitigating factors to the court. In many cases, an attorney can pursue a Probation Before Judgment (PBJ), which avoids points altogether, or an amendment to a lesser offense. Having a former prosecutor on your side—as Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel team provide—means the defense understands how the State builds its case and can respond effectively. Representation can make a substantial difference in the outcome.
What is the MVA point system and how does it affect my license?
The Maryland MVA assigns points for moving violations; accumulation can lead to license suspension or revocation. Points are added to your record upon conviction. Common speeding violations carry 1, 2, or 5 points depending on severity. If you accumulate 8 points, the MVA will schedule an administrative hearing. If you reach 12 points, your license is revoked. Points remain on your record for two years. A clean driving record can be preserved through defensive driving courses or by obtaining a PBJ, which prevents points from being assessed. An attorney can advise on strategies to manage or eliminate points from a citation.
Can I get a Probation Before Judgment (PBJ) for a speeding ticket?
Yes, a PBJ is available for many traffic offenses in Maryland, and it can be the most valuable outcome in a speeding case. When the court grants PBJ, the defendant is placed on a form of probation without a judgment of guilt. Upon successful completion, the case is closed and no points are assessed. For drivers who are at risk of accumulating 8 or 12 points, a PBJ can mean the difference between keeping and losing a license. The availability of PBJ depends on the facts of the case and the driver’s record. An attorney can advocate for this disposition and present the reasons why it is appropriate.
What should I do if I receive a traffic citation in Maryland?
Do not automatically pay the fine without understanding the consequences. Paying a citation is considered a conviction and will result in points on your record. Instead, contact a traffic defense lawyer as soon as possible. Preserve any documentation, such as the officer’s notes or the citation itself, and write down your recollection of the events while they are fresh. An attorney can review your options, including moving for a trial date, requesting a PBJ, or negotiating with the State. The deadline to respond to a citation is typically 30 days, so prompt action is important. Reach Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C. at (888) 437-7747 to schedule a consultation.
