Your Options After a Super Speeder Charge

A super speeder charge is not a routine traffic ticket. In Virginia, driving 85 mph or more—or 20 mph above any posted limit—is reckless driving under Va. Code § 46.2‑862, a Class 1 misdemeanor. The commonwealth may seek jail time, a fine, and a license suspension. In Maryland, excessive speed can also lead to reckless driving or points that quickly trigger an MVA hearing. The firm’s Of Counsel attorneys explore every angle: challenging the speed measurement, examining the stop’s legality, and presenting mitigating evidence. In many cases, our goal is to negotiate the charge down to a non‑criminal infraction such as improper driving—a resolution that avoids a permanent criminal conviction and reduces the long‑term consequences.

What to Expect When You Face a Reckless Driving Charge

After receiving the summons, you will have a court date. In Virginia, reckless driving is a criminal matter, so your presence is typically required. The firm’s Of Counsel attorneys appear with you, not instead of you, and guide you through each step. They review the officer’s notes, any speed‑measuring device records, and dash‑camera footage. At the hearing, they argue for dismissal, reduction, or the most favorable outcome the facts allow. Throughout the process, they keep you informed about what to expect and what options remain available. Because every court has its own practices, having an attorney familiar with the local bench and prosecutorial approach makes a significant difference.

Penalties for Speeding in Virginia and Maryland

A conviction for reckless driving by speed in Virginia means a Class 1 misdemeanor on your record, up to 12 months in jail, a fine as high as $2,500, and a possible license suspension of up to six months. Even a first offense carries six DMV demerit points that stay on your record for years. In Maryland, a reckless driving conviction adds points, and accumulating eight points triggers an MVA administrative hearing; twelve points leads to suspension. Maryland also imposes a motor vehicle surcharge for drivers with excessive points. Beyond the court penalties, a conviction typically causes a sharp insurance increase and can jeopardize a commercial driver’s license. The firm works to avoid these consequences whenever the evidence allows.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a “super speeder” charge?

A “super speeder” charge is a colloquial term for driving at a speed that triggers an enhanced penalty or a criminal charge. In Virginia, 85 mph or more—or 20 mph over any limit—constitutes reckless driving, a Class 1 misdemeanor. Maryland classifies certain excessive speeds as reckless driving as well, and the state imposes additional surcharges when a driver accumulates six or more points. The term has no single statutory definition, but it signals a situation where the consequences are far more serious than a simple speeding ticket.

Do I need a lawyer for a super speeder ticket?

You are not legally required to hire a lawyer, but because a super speeder charge is often a criminal offense, representation can influence the outcome. A reckless driving conviction stays on your record, can result in jail time, and may increase your insurance premiums for years. An attorney familiar with the local court can evaluate the evidence, identify procedural issues, and negotiate for a reduction to a non‑criminal infraction. The firm’s Of Counsel attorneys handle these matters routinely in Virginia and Maryland courts.

Can my super speeder charge be reduced to a lesser offense?

In many cases, yes, a super speeder charge can be reduced to a non‑criminal offense such as improper driving or a basic speeding infraction. Whether a reduction is available depends on the speed alleged, your driving record, and the specific judge and prosecutor. The firm’s Of Counsel attorneys present mitigation, such as a safe driving history or completion of a driver improvement course, and argue that the facts support a lower offense. The court makes the final decision after considering the evidence and any agreement between the parties.

What should I do immediately after receiving a super speeder ticket?

Do not ignore the summons; note the court date and avoid discussing the facts with anyone except an attorney. Preserve any documents you received from the officer. If you have a commercial driver’s license, inform your employer because a conviction may trigger a disqualification. Contact Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C. at (888) 437‑7747 to schedule a consultation. An early review of the evidence often helps identify defenses, including errors in the speed measurement or the traffic stop itself.

Will a super speeder conviction affect my insurance?

Yes, a super speeder conviction almost always results in a significant insurance increase because insurers view a reckless driving or excessive‑speeding conviction as a high‑risk indicator. In Virginia, a reckless driving conviction adds six demerit points that remain on your record for years. Maryland insurers also penalize serious moving violations and may non‑renew a policy after a major conviction. Avoiding a criminal conviction and keeping points off your record protects your insurability and your premiums.
