While Maryland law does not label any specific offense as “super speeder,” driving at a speed 30 miles per hour or more above the posted limit or at 100 miles per hour and above can result in serious consequences, including a misdemeanor charge, five points on your driving record, steep fines, and even jail time.

What Traffic Law Means in Charles County
Charles County traffic enforcement is active along major corridors including Route 301, Route 228, and Route 210. The District Court of Maryland for Charles County, located at 200 Charles Street in La Plata, hears all traffic cases originating in the county. When a citation is issued for excessive speed, the charge may be classified as a misdemeanor—not a simple infraction—carrying the possibility of jail time in addition to points and fines. Maryland’s point system adds demerits for moving-violation convictions; accumulating eight points triggers an administrative hearing with the Motor Vehicle Administration, and twelve points results in license revocation.
For drivers accused of driving 30 or more miles per hour over the posted speed limit, the stakes are especially high. Convictions for these high-speed offenses bring five points, fines starting above $290, and a misdemeanor record that can affect insurance and employment. However, the Maryland courts in Charles County offer potential relief through Probation Before Judgment (PBJ). When a judge grants PBJ, the driver avoids a conviction and the points that would follow, which makes an experienced defense crucial. Speed camera citations—by contrast—are civil matters carrying only a $40 fine and no points, and should not be confused with moving-violation speeding tickets.
How Mr. Sris and His Of Counsel Handle Traffic Cases
Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel approach every Charles County traffic matter with a focus on the point system and the long-term consequences of a conviction. Because the Maryland District Court does not offer jury trials for traffic offenses, the quality of legal representation before a single judge determines the outcome. The firm’s preparation includes a thorough review of the traffic stop, calibration records for speed‑measuring equipment, and the specific speed alleged. If the evidence supports it, Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel may negotiate for a reduced charge that carries fewer points or a PBJ disposition that avoids points entirely.
When a defendant requests a jury trial, the case transfers to the Charles County Circuit Court. That move changes the procedural landscape and can extend the timeline, but it also opens additional avenues for defense. Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel are prepared to try cases in Circuit Court when the circumstances warrant. Throughout the process, the firm works to protect your driving record, your license, and your peace of mind.
