Caught Going 30 Miles Over the Speed Limit in Florida?

going 30 over the speed limit

At TicketFit, speeding tickets are the most common traffic violation our attorney fights. Yet, not all speeding tickets in Florida are the same.

Although all speeding tickets carry penalties, going 30 miles or more over the speed limit has severe consequences.

Mandatory Court Appearance

If you are caught going 30 miles or over in Florida, you don’t have the option of paying a fine or attending to traffic school. A court date will be scheduled and you will be required to attend.

Because a court appearance is required, you must attend the hearing or hire a speeding ticket attorney to attend for you. Otherwise, the judge may find you guilty and/or suspend your license for failure to appear.

Expensive Fines

Speeding ticket fines are expensive, ranging anywhere from $200 to $500. However, if you are found guilty of driving 30 miles or more over the speed limit, your fine may reach up to $1,000. In addition, some judges may suspend your driver’s license.

Points on Your Driving Record

Florida works on a point system and every time you are cited for speeding points are added to your driving record.

While a speeding ticket for 29 miles or less over the limit carries with it 3 points, speeding 30 miles over the speed limit can cause 4 points on your license, and 6 points if it resulted in a crash.

Excessive points lead to the suspension of your driver’s license. Points are also used by your insurance company to raise your rates or deny coverage.

Why Hire an Attorney

Hiring an experienced speeding ticket attorney, such as TicketFit, can help you in two ways:

  1. First, you will not have to go to court, our attorney goes for you.
  2. Second, our lawyer has the skills necessary to get your ticket dismissed, or at least, keep points off your driving record.

  7. I’ve never been pulled over before it’s my first time. I was going 85 in a 45 but on the ticket tho cop put 80 in a 45 instead of 85 is that a good thing he made my speed lower? And I also forgot my license at home so I got two citations. On the ticket it says I only owe 116$ and that was for having no license. So does that mean I’m getting charged for speeding? The cop also said if I attend the court and pay the ticket before the court I won’t have points on my license is that nessiarlly true? Someone please help me out.

  8. Could you help me?

  11. Hi TicketFit,

    I got a ticket today for going 15 mph over the speed limit (30 mph going 45) in Cutler Bay. The ticket is 269 and I don’t have the money at the moment since I have recently moved. I couldn’t see the cops until they got in the middle of the street to stop me since they were hidden on th side. I also didn’t see any speed limit signs anywhere. I wanted to go to court and see if it could get dismissed or lowered because this is my first speeding ticket ever (20 years old been driving since I was 15) but I feel as if my case doesn’t have a fighting chance /: any possible advice or help would be appreciated. Thank you!
