What Is Maryland’s Super Speeder Law?

Maryland’s super speeder provision is an additional civil assessment that applies when a driver is convicted of traveling at an elevated speed. The surcharge is separate from the fine imposed by the court and is administered through the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA). In Prince George’s County, a motorist who receives a super speeder notification may face a combination of court costs, the underlying speeding fine, and the additional MVA surcharge. The assessment is triggered when a driver is convicted of exceeding the speed limit by a qualifying margin in a posted zone. The surcharge is assessed after the court adjudicates the underlying citation and reports the conviction to the MVA; it is not determined by the District Court judge at a traffic hearing. Because the surcharge is administrative, many drivers learn about it weeks after their court date. Understanding the full financial picture is important when evaluating whether to contest the underlying speeding charge, which is heard at the District Court of Maryland for Prince George’s County on Main Street in Upper Marlboro.

How a Super Speeder Citation Affects Prince George’s County Drivers

The super speeder surcharge is not the only financial and licensing consequence a driver faces. Points are added to the driver’s Maryland record upon conviction for the underlying speeding offense. The point values depend on how far above the posted limit the driver was traveling. In Maryland, accumulating eight points triggers an MVA point-system hearing; accumulating twelve points leads to revocation. A speeding conviction that meets the super speeder threshold often carries a point assessment that, combined with other recent convictions, could approach or cross those administrative thresholds. Insurance premiums typically increase following a conviction for a high-speed violation. Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C.

What is Probation Before Judgment, and can it help in a super speeder case?

Probation Before Judgment (PBJ) is a Maryland disposition that may allow a driver to avoid a conviction and the associated points if the court imposes a period of probation and the driver successfully completes it. PBJ is not guaranteed; past results do not guarantee a similar outcome; whether the court will grant it depends on the circumstances of the case and the driver’s history.
