Drivers face tougher speeding penalties

Starting July 1, 2025, driving 50 miles per hour or more over the speed limit is a crime. Driving at 100 miles per hour or faster is also a crime when it threatens people or property, or interferes with another vehicle. A first conviction carries up to 30 days in jail, a fine up to $500, or both. A second or later conviction carries up to 90 days in jail, a fine up to $1,000, or both. A second or later violation within five years of an earlier conviction also brings a license revocation of 180 days to one year.

Drivers must attend some traffic hearings

Starting July 1, 2025, people cited for certain traffic infractions must attend a hearing. These include certain vehicle-loading violations, speeding at least 30 miles per hour over the limit, and infractions under section 316.1926(2). Officers may list the hearing time and place on citations, and generally must list the civil penalty. For most infractions covered by the citation rules, officers must certify that they delivered the citation; that certification is initial proof of service. People cited for these mandatory-hearing infractions cannot use the usual alternative ways to handle the citation.
