Fighting Speeding & Super Speeder Tickets
Stop Points, Avoid License Suspension, and Prevent Massive Insurance Hikes
Many drivers assume paying a speeding ticket is the easiest route, but in Georgia, a conviction means accumulating points on your license, drastically increased insurance premiums, and the risk of license suspension—especially if you are cited under the severe Super Speeder Law. James E. Kee & Associates doesn't just process tickets; we aggressively defend drivers to minimize long-term damage, striving to reduce the charge, prevent points, and save you money for years to come.
Stop the Points and Fines. Call Our Speeding Ticket AttorneysUnderstanding Georgia Speeding Laws
In Georgia, not all speeding tickets are equal. The financial and legal risks scale sharply depending on how fast you were driving.
The Point System and Risk of Suspension
Points are added to your license upon conviction. The accumulation of these points is what leads to the most serious consequences:
| Speed Over Limit | Points Assessed |
| 15-18 mph over | 2 points |
| 19-23 mph over | 3 points |
| 24-33 mph over | 4 points |
| 34+ mph over | 6 points (Super Speeder Territory) |
Crucial Risk: Accumulating 15 points in any 24-month period leads to an automatic license suspension. For drivers under the age of 21, a single conviction for a 4-point offense (24 mph over) can result in an immediate license suspension.
Georgia's Super Speeder Law
The Super Speeder Law ($O.C.G.A. 40-6-189$) adds a massive financial penalty on top of your local fine.
Definition: You are classified as a Super Speeder if you are convicted of driving:
- 75 mph or more on a two-lane road or highway, OR
- 85 mph or more on any road or highway.Penalties: In addition to the fines and fees paid to the local court, a convicted driver must pay a $\$200$ state
Super Speeder fee to the Department of Driver Services (DDS).
Failure to pay this $\$200$ fee within 120 days of the notice will result in an immediate suspension of your driver's license.
CDL Alert: Speeding 15 mph or more over the limit is classified as a Serious Traffic Violation for CDL holders. Two convictions within three years can lead to a 60-day disqualification of your commercial driving privileges.

Speeding & Super Speeder Defense
Strategic Defense for Speeding Tickets
We don't rely on luck; we rely on forensic investigation and strategic negotiation to protect your record.
Challenging the Evidence
The State's case depends entirely on the accuracy and proper use of speed detection technology. We meticulously challenge the evidence presented by the arresting officer:
Device Accuracy: We investigate the use of RADAR or LIDAR technology. Was the device properly calibrated on the date of the stop? Is the calibration certificate valid?
Officer Certification: Was the officer certified and trained to properly use the specific speed detection device?
Legal Stop: Was the traffic stop itself based on reasonable suspicion, or was it an illegal stop?
Negotiation for Reduced or Non-Point Offenses
Our main objective is to eliminate the points and Super Speeder designation.
Goal: Work closely with prosecutors in specific local and state courts to negotiate the charge down to a non-reportable offense (such as a basic equipment violation) or a no-point offense (such as "Too Fast for Conditions"), minimizing the long-term impact on your license and insurance.
Local Expertise: Courts Where We Fight Speeding Tickets
Fighting a ticket effectively requires more than knowing the law—it requires knowing the local courts and their personnel.
Dedicated Defense in Local and State Courts
We know the local court rules and the specific plea bargaining policies regarding speeding tickets.
We regularly defend clients in the most active jurisdictions across Metro Atlanta:
Municipal Courts: (e.g., Sandy Springs, Roswell, Decatur) which often have unique rules for reduced pleas.
State Courts: (e.g., Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett) for higher-speed or complex citations.
Jurisdictional Expertise: We are familiar with the specific prosecutors who handle traffic cases on high-volume interstate corridors like I-85, I-75, I-285, and GA-400.
Our experience in these local courts allows us to anticipate the prosecutor's strategy and present a familiar, professional, and powerful defense.
