HB 351 Dangerous Excessive Speeding Law affects motorists driving 50 mph or more over the posted speed limit, or anyone driving 100+mph that threatens the safety of other persons or property
BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Apparently some people didn’t get the memo that Florida just passed a new “Super Speeder Law” that pretty much guarantees you a trip to jail if you exceed 100 mph or 50mph over a posted speed limit on Florida’s Roads.
Now while most people with common sense don’t really need a memo or new state law to tell them not to drive that fast, what we have learned from folks like Ryan Samayoa, is that common sense ain’t really that common anymore.
You see, yesterday afternoon Samayoa was arrested by Motor Deputy Charlie Hill for riding his motorcycle at a shocking 106 mph in a posted 45mph zone.
Not only was he speeding, but he was doing it with a suspended license along the Eau Gallie Causeway.
The new law that went into effect July 1, (HB 351 Dangerous Excessive Speeding) comes with a potential for jail time, or a fine, and affects persons driving 50 mph or more over the posted speed limit, or anyone driving 100+mph that threatens the safety of other persons or property, or interferes with any vehicle.
Now just in case there’s any confusion with what this means, let me break it down for you.
If you drive recklessly over 100mph or 50mph over the posted speed limit in Florida…you go immediately to jail. If convicted you could get a fine, up to 30 days in jail or with a strong Judge you get both
If you do it again you, also jail, and upon a subsequent conviction you can get a fine, up to 90 days in jail or both.
Also upon a second or subsequent conviction of any one of these violations within 5 years, that person can have their license revoked for anywhere from 180 days up to 1 year.
Folks, there’s absolutely no excuse for driving at these speeds, as we all know it doesn’t end well for anyone.
I hope this new law makes people think twice before driving at these ridiculous speeds.
Great job to Deputy Hill and our Motor Unit for catching this guy and making our roads safer by getting this guy off our streets before he kills himself someone else.
