Strategy Options for a Super Speeder Charge in Prince George’s County
When you are cited for driving 30 miles per hour or more over the posted limit, the State may charge you with a misdemeanor, not a simple infraction. A conviction carries five points on your record and the possibility of jail time. A defense strategy often starts with examining the traffic stop itself: was the speed measurement device calibrated and operated properly? Were you correctly identified? If procedural mistakes occurred, the evidence may be challenged. Another path is negotiating with the prosecutor to amend the charge to a lesser offense—for example, a two‑point speeding violation instead of a five‑point excessive‑speed charge. In many cases, Mr. Sris and the firm’s Of Counsel attorneys work to secure a probation before judgment (PBJ). A PBJ avoids a conviction and keeps points off your Maryland driving record entirely, provided you meet the court‑ordered conditions.
What to Expect at the District Court of MD for Prince George’s County
Your case will be heard at the District Court of MD for Prince George’s County, located at 14735 Main Street, Upper Marlboro. The first appearance is typically a scheduling conference or a trial date, depending on how you plead. If you request a jury trial, the matter transfers to the Prince George’s County Circuit Court, which can add time to the process. An experienced traffic attorney can explain each step and help you make informed choices. The court’s calendar varies, but having counsel who appears regularly in that courthouse can make a difference in how your case moves forward.
Penalty Overview – Narrative
Maryland uses a point system that penalizes speeding on a sliding scale. Speeding 10 to 19 miles per hour over the limit adds one point to your license; 20 to 29 over adds two points; and 30 or more over adds five points and may be charged as a misdemeanor. Reckless driving adds six points and carries up to a fine and six months in jail. Once you accumulate eight points, the Motor Vehicle Administration can summon you for a hearing; at 12 points, your license is revoked. The financial exposure goes beyond fines: a conviction often raises insurance premiums significantly, and some insurers cancel policies after a serious moving violation. Speed‑camera tickets in Prince George’s County are $40 civil citations with no points and no insurance impact—but those do not substitute for an officer‑issued speeding citation. Your best chance to avoid points is a favorable resolution like PBJ, which is available for many traffic offenses and eliminates the point assessment entirely.

Are speed camera tickets in Prince George’s County, Maryland worth fighting?
Speed‑camera citations in Prince George’s County are $40 civil fines that carry no points, no criminal record, and generally no insurance impact.
