    Post Super Speeder Law

    Repost or not, I do not care. I heard another ad on the radio about it like 20 minutes ago. It said January 1st was when it was being put into effect. The ad also said that all people would be charged the maximum the new law would allow regardless of how much they were speeding. That's a little much IMO. I mean I have nothing wrong with most laws but this is another way for the Gov.'t to suck money out of the people IMO. Anyone else have anymore input?
    You know better; next time will be a ban.

    The only reason it's called Super speeder law, is because it's a really hardcore law that affects ANYONE/EVERYONE that gets caught speeding period.

    WRONG. READ YOUR LINKS.

    These super-speeder fines will kick in for drivers caught traveling more than 75 mph on two-lane roads or 85 mph on any road. It’s part of an effort to raise money for Georgia’s trauma network, the system of emergency rooms and ambulance services called upon for the worst accident injuries.

    Basically what I said. When or if you get caught speeding when this law goes into effect, you get anal rapped without any lube.

    No, it isn't nearly what you said. You are saying that all speeders will get an extra $200 fine on their ticket, when in actuality it is speeders that are going 20+ MPH over the speed limit. The reason why it is called the Super Speeder law is because it affects those that are "super speeders."

    It doesn't just apply to that, it can be just going 15mph over. In most cases, cops won't bother unless you are going over 10mph the speed limit. But now this will give them a reason to bother you regardless.

    On Tuesday, driving over 85 miles per hour (mph) on any of Georgia's highways or roads became substantially more expensive. Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue signed the state's new "super speeder law," which aims to discourage dangerous driving while raising money to fund the state's trauma centers.

    I screwed up a couple of months ago and fell into this "superspeeding" law. I should have went to jail immediately and had my car towed. but I had no other driving infractions on my record so he let me go home. I hired a lawyer for my court date and wound up paying almost $1,000 in court fines and still had to pay the lawyer. NOT worth it.....I had an empty stretch on a 2 lane road and went for it, I hit the gas. apparently I wasn't alone when I saw a very angry cop behind me with blue lights and sirens blasting. 90 mph in a 35....and wreckless driving.

    I honestly was shocked he didnt take me to jail...I guess he could tell I knew I fucked up when he came to the window and I was just holding my face in my hands.

    I will have to read more on it but on its surface I really like it. The only drawback I can think of is that more people might be inclined to try running.

    your still 10-15mph over the speed LIMIT your still breaking the law they have a reason to pull you over anytime when your OVER the limit.

    Ok so in the future when you get pulled over for say 10mph over, and you get around $600 dollars in fines for a small speeding ticket. I am gonna remind you of your post.

    where does it say 10mph is going to be a super speeder ticket. man you need to read what the law is before you open your mouth. and the reason this law isnt going to effect me. since i basically inferred it with my previous post. i dont see more than 5 over. unless on the highway where i go with the flow. but usually on the slower side of the flow. but nice try anyways.

    that is a horrible way to view things and that mentality is why everything is so bad now. the govt takes away rights and freedoms and grows more and more powerful bit by bit; because ppl dont care because it doesnt affect them in the short term.

    i honestly just think fines are too high as it is. 150 dollars for changing lanes without a blinker is absurd. and now say you are going 15 over on the interstate, it will cost at minimum 340 dollars. thats a joke. fines are high enough.

    how will a speeding law effect someone if they dont speed?

    how will a speeding law effect someone in the long run?

    i wasnt talking about this particular law. just in general that is a bad mindset to have. like for example if the goverment wanted to make it where they were allowed to stop by and search any gun owners house. well if you didnt own any guns (qd i know you do, just an example) then the attitude that "doesnt affect me, i dont care" would be a big deal. you dont want to give the gov't that kind of power. it already is too powerful and having a mindset to let them do what they want as long as it doesnt directly affect you can be very harmful. in this case though, do you really think the govt should be able to just make it extremely expensive for a traffic violation? personally i believe most of the legislators that passed this bill will never have to worry about it. i highly doubt saxby chambliss gets ticketed when he gets stopped. so in a sense, they could have had the "doesnt affect me, i dont care" mindset and passed it. possibly.

    After a quick read through the links posted and a couple more i looked up myself, I am more inclined to favor this. I do have some gripes though. The bill should either omit expressways or address them separately. On an expressway, an area with heavier traffic has a lower speed limit, therefore someone excessively speeding has a far greater chance of causing an accident. With the way the law is currently written, having more lanes actually gives you a higher cushion before the law takes affect.

    If I was to write this, the number of lanes on a road wouldnt even enter the conversation. It would be hinged on the posted speed limit. On a 45-60mph road, SS takes affect at 15 over. 65-70 mph, SS applies at 20 mph over. The big hit would be on slower roads. Any road with a limit at 40 and below it would take affect at 10mph over.

    Ok so in the future when you get pulled over for say 10mph over, and you get around $600 dollars in fines for a small speeding ticket. I am gonna remind you of your post.
    You're retarded, you said THIS EFFECTS ANY SPEEDERS, the neveryone pointed it out that it does not, and you're still acting like it will. IT's fi you're going 75 on a 2 lane road or 85 on an interstate. Both of those are more than 10 over. They are 20 or 30, so stop acting like ANY and every speeder will get effected, only the SUPER speeders. So even for those of you who have gotten the occasional 10 or 15mph speeding ticket, NOTHNIG has changed for you.

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    I don't care what you THINK my way of thinking is. You don't pay my fines or my bills, so what you THINK I should be feeling is of no relevance to me. If I don't speed, then why should I care about this going into effect? I don't do anything to break any laws so I don't care about that shit. Maybe when it starts really affecting me, I'll change my views. Until then...I'm good and you take care of you. Later, QD.

    Ya know.. Ive read over everything and i see both views. Honestly i think both are correct in many ways. and in correct in others. your either saying "well i dont speed so i have nothing to worry about" and others saying "yeah this is bullshit cause if you get caught speeding this will happen or it wont" and one definitly right about continueing to give the law to much power. But i want you all to sit down and think about this.. We are on a car forum. most of us drive cars or trucks or bikes that are built, made, designed the way we want them which stand out. now i want you to take into consideration how many people that have been pulled over for bullshit things, how many of us have been fined for some serious bullshit. (and before anyone blows there wod about "oh well you were in the wrong blah blah blah") this isnt what im saying. But We all know that there are ass hole currupt cops out there that hate our lifestyle. hate us being different because we enjoy our cars. Now with this new law in. Wouldnt that just give them more or a reason to target us? i mean there willing to pull us over for going 4 or 5 miles over and saying we were speeding. whats for them to say "oh hey he was doing 15 or 20 mph over so they can really rack up there quota? i mean we all know that the states are hurting for money since the economy went to hell in a hand basket. now that they are "legally able" to suck more money outa people that are hardly makeing it as it is. whos to stop them? when it is time to stand up and say enough is enough? just my opinion.

    Not using your blinker is absurd. It is about 3 inches from your left hand.
