Criminal traffic crimes can be serious. Certain types of driving behavior can put life, limb, or property at risk. Our attorneys achieve high levels of success in aiding criminal traffic offenders to have their charges reduced or dismissed. However, the State of Florida does not take these charges lightly, making it important to know what defines each crime, and the consequences you could face if convicted. Before you do anything, be sure to talk to one of our lawyers first.
Florida’s “Super Speeder” law, officially called the dangerous excessive speeding law, creates criminal penalties for extreme speeding. Drivers can be charged if they exceed the posted speed limit by 50 mph or more, or drive at 100 mph or more in a way that threatens the safety of others or property. Unlike standard speeding tickets, these charges can require a mandatory court appearance and may result in criminal penalties, including up to 30 days in jail and a $500 fine for a first offense, and up to 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine for repeat offenses, along with potential license revocation for repeat violations within five years. Because these cases can carry serious criminal and driving consequences, working with an experienced traffic defense attorney may help identify defenses, negotiate reduced charges, or pursue dismissal depending on the facts of the case.
The most serious traffic offenses in Florida can carry life-changing consequences. Charges like DUI, reckless driving, racing on the highway, leaving the scene of an accident and driving while license suspended put both your freedom and future at risk. More severe offenses such as vehicular manslaughter. Even seemingly minor crimes like attaching an unassigned tag can quickly escalate into criminal charges. Having an experienced defense attorney is critical to protecting your rights.
