Any speeding violation will result in you being ticketed and facing repercussions, whether you were going six miles above the speed limit or 30. However, the difference is that the higher you are traveling over the speed limit, the harsher the penalties you face will be. This is especially true if you already have points on your driver’s license from previous traffic violations in the State of Florida, as the points you receive from this violation may lead to the suspension of your driver’s license. If you are like most Americans, then you use your vehicle every day, so having your license revoked can have a huge impact on your day-to-day life. You may also face fines, a court order, and points on your license.

If you have received a speeding ticket for traveling over 30 mph above the speed limit, then you need to contact a Florida attorney. The attorneys at The Law Place will be able to help you fight the citation, protect your driving record, and limit the potential repercussions that you are facing.

The Circumstances of Your Traffic Stop in Hamilton County

If you have been stopped for speeding, then the police officer may show you some leniency. For example, if you were driving only a few miles per hour over the speed limit, then they may let you go without a ticket, or if you are traveling over 30 mph over the limit, then they may write the ticket for traveling only 29 mph over. This would lead to less severe consequences, such as fewer points and a lowered fine.

However, if you are traveling 30 mph over the speed limit, or maybe even more, in a residential area, construction zone, or near a school, then you will be unlikely to receive any leniency. This is because speeding in these areas is seen as particularly dangerous. Because of this, the penalties you face would likely be much more severe.

Speeding tickets in Hamilton County are charged under Florida Statutes: 316.187, 316.189, and/or 316.183.

What Penalties You Can Expect for a Speeding Ticket in Hamilton County

In every county in Florida, going 30 miles per hour above the speed limit results in a court order, where a judge will decide whether more penalties should be added to your sentence. This could include extra fines, more points on your license, or suspension of your license, which could have a detrimental impact on your day-to-day life.

If you receive a moving traffic ticket, you will most likely be facing a fine. Fines for speeding tickets vary from county to county, but in Hamilton County, you can expect to be fined anywhere from around $260.50 to $305.50 for speeding over 30 miles per hour. However, this fine can increase to approximately $611 if you were speeding over 30 mph near a school or in a construction zone. Fines are collected by the clerk of courts.

You may also receive around four points on your license, or six if you were in an accident. This could lead to higher car insurance and even license suspension.

Hamilton County offers a Traffic Infraction Deferral Program, which provides the opportunity to have your traffic ticket dismissed once you have successfully completed the program. However, if you were speeding over 26mph, then you will not be eligible, as this is an offense deemed too serious.
