Super Speeder Insurance Increases

Speeders beware: as of January 1, 2010, Georgia’s new Super Speeder Law will not only increase the fine you pay for stepping on the gas, but it also carries with it some hefty super speeder insurance increases.

Defined as speeds above 74 mph on a two-lane road or speeds above 85 mph on any other road, super speeding is a serious violation that falls in the same category as reckless driving. What does this mean for you? Well, in addition to tacking on an additional $200 fee for speeds above these limits, a conviction of super speeding will deem you a “high-risk” in the eyes of your insurance company. 

If you have ever received a speeding ticket, then you may already know how speeding can affect your insurance rates. Just one little citation can eliminate any discounts you may receive for having a good driving record and increase your overall premium by several hundred dollars each year. But this cost is nothing compared to the amount you’ll pay if you are labeled a high-risk driver.

As the name implies, high-risk drivers are individuals who are considered risky for the insurance company. Like any other company, insurance providers strive for maximum profits and, because they have been deemed unsafe drivers, high-risk customers are potentially dangerous investments. As a result, high-risk drivers can expect to pay much more for coverage—that is, if the insurance company doesn’t deny coverage entirely.

And, as if being labeled a high-risk driver wasn’t bad enough, if you are convicted of super speeding, you will also be labeled a “super speeder” by the DMV—a classification that will be included in your driving record.
