What a Super Speeder Citation Means in Calvert County

Maryland’s Super Speeder law applies when a driver exceeds the posted speed limit by 20 miles per hour or more. In addition to the standard fine imposed by the court, the Motor Vehicle Administration assesses a mandatory surcharge on any driver convicted of a qualifying speeding offense. The surcharge is separate from and in addition to the court fine. A Super Speeder conviction also adds points to your Maryland driving record, and accumulating too many points can jeopardize your license. Specifically, 8 points results in an MVA administrative hearing, and 12 points within a two-year period results in revocation of your driving privilege.

In Calvert County, speeding tickets and traffic citations are heard in the District Court of Maryland for Calvert County at 200 Duke Street in Prince Frederick. The court has jurisdiction over traffic infractions, misdemeanors, and certain criminal traffic offenses. For speeds of 20 to 29 miles per hour over the limit, the base fine typically carries 2 points. For speeds 30 miles per hour or more over the limit, the base fine starts at a higher amount and the offense may be treated as a misdemeanor with 5 points. Beyond the fine and points, a conviction can raise your auto insurance premiums significantly. An experienced traffic lawyer can evaluate whether defensive driving courses, probation before judgment (PBJ), or other strategies may help you avoid points and keep your driving record clean. Every case is different, and the outcome depends on the specific facts and the court’s discretion.
