Super Speeder Lawyer Montgomery County, VA
Many drivers searching for a “super speeder” lawyer may have encountered Georgia’s Super Speeder law, which imposes additional fines for speeding over 75 mph on two‑lane roads or over 85 mph on any road. Virginia does not label any offense “Super Speeder.” However, the Commonwealth’s reckless‑driving‑by‑speed statute, Va. Code § 46.2‑862, is among the strictest in the country. If you were cited for driving 20 mph or more over the posted limit, or in excess of 85 mph, anywhere in Montgomery County, you are charged with a Class 1 misdemeanor—a criminal offense, not a simple traffic ticket. A conviction can mean a permanent criminal record, up to 12 months in jail, a fine of up to $2,500, and a six‑month license suspension. At Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C., Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel represent drivers at the Montgomery County General District Court and throughout the New River Valley.

What “Super Speeder” Means in Montgomery County, Virginia
Georgia’s Super Speeder law adds a mandatory surcharge for certain high‑speed offenses, but the term is often used colloquially by drivers in other states who have been ticketed for dangerous speeds. In Virginia, a comparable—and in many ways more serious—framework is the reckless‑driving statute. Reckless driving by speed under § 46.2‑862 is not a financial add‑on; it is a criminal charge that requires a mandatory court appearance and exposes you to a criminal record. Montgomery County enforces this law heavily, especially on Interstate 81 and the U.S. 460 bypass, where traffic enforcement by the Virginia State Police and the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office is common.
When a driver is cited for a speed that triggers reckless driving in Montgomery County, the case is heard at the Montgomery County General District Court, 55 East Main Street, Third Floor, Christiansburg, Virginia. The court handles all traffic misdemeanors and the vast majority of speeding infractions. Because reckless driving is a criminal misdemeanor, you cannot simply prepay the fine; you must appear, and a judge will determine the penalty. The Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office prosecutes the case, and an experienced traffic lawyer familiar with local procedure is essential to protect your rights.
How Mr. Sris and His Of Counsel Handle Traffic Cases
Every traffic matter in Montgomery County begins with a careful review of the charge and the evidence. Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel examine the speed‑measurement method—pacing, radar, LIDAR, or aircraft timing—to identify any procedural or calibration issues. The firm’s Of Counsel include a former Virginia State Trooper who understands the enforcement tactics from the officer’s perspective; that firsthand knowledge often uncovers weaknesses in the Commonwealth’s case.
Many reckless‑driving‑by‑speed charges can be negotiated to improper driving under Va. Code § 46.2‑869, a traffic infraction that carries no criminal record, a maximum fine of and only three DMV demerit points instead of six. If a favorable resolution cannot be reached, Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel are prepared to take the matter to trial. Mr. Sris, a former prosecutor, brings a thorough understanding of how the Commonwealth builds its case, which informs trial strategy and negotiation.
