What Excessive‑Speed Charges Mean in Maryland
Maryland does not label a specific “Super Speeder” statute the way some other states do, but the state treats extremely high speeds with serious consequences. Under Maryland’s Transportation Article, a driver who exceeds the speed limit by 30 mph or more is typically cited for a speed that can carry 5 points and a fine, in addition to possible misdemeanor charges. When the speed is grossly excessive or the officer believes the driving endangered others, the driver may also be charged with reckless driving—a criminal offense that carries 6 points, a fine of up to $1,000, and as much as 6 months in jail. These penalties are not limited to a single county: the District Court of Maryland for Montgomery County, the District Court of Maryland for Prince George’s County, the District Court of Maryland for Howard County, and courts across the state all hear high‑speed cases and apply the same point system.
Maryland’s point system is built on an escalating scale. Accumulating 8 points prompts an administrative hearing before the Motor Vehicle Administration, and 12 points results in a license revocation. Points from a single high‑speed ticket can push a driver close to a suspension hearing, especially if there are other infractions on the record. The good news is that Maryland law allows a judge to grant Probation Before Judgment (PBJ) for many traffic offenses, which avoids the point assessment entirely if the driver complies with court‑imposed conditions. Keeping points off your record is often the single most important objective in any high‑speed traffic case.
How Mr. Sris and His Of Counsel Approach High‑Speed Traffic Cases
Every speeding case is different, and our team begins by carefully examining the officer’s evidence. Law enforcement must calibrate radar and lidar equipment at regular intervals, and if those calibration records are incomplete, the speed reading may be challenged. We also review the officer’s visual estimate, pacing distances, and any dash‑cam or body‑camera footage. When a procedural misstep or technical defect can be identified, the prosecution’s case may weaken significantly.
In many instances, the goal is to negotiate a reduction. For a driver cited for a speed 30 mph or more over the limit, achieving an amendment to a lower speed can drop the points from 5 to 2 or even 1, which can keep the driver under the 8‑point MVA hearing threshold. In the strongest circumstances, we work toward Probation Before Judgment, which means no points at all. Our attorneys appear regularly in Maryland District Courts—including those in Montgomery County, Prince George’s County, Howard County, Anne Arundel County, and Frederick County—so we understand the procedural rhythms and the expectations of the bench in each jurisdiction.

Frequently Asked Questions About Super Speeder Cases in Maryland
How many points until I lose my license in Maryland?
In Maryland, 8 points triggers an MVA point‑system hearing and 12 points results in a license revocation. A single high‑speed ticket assessed at 5 points can push a driver dangerously close to the 8‑point hearing threshold, especially when combined with other convictions. Probation Before Judgment (PBJ) avoids point assessment entirely, and speed‑camera citations carry no points. Our team works to keep points off your driving record whenever possible.
What happens if I am caught driving over 100 mph in Maryland?
A driver cited for exceeding 100 mph in Maryland will almost certainly face a charge of reckless driving, a criminal misdemeanor that carries 6 points and up to 6 months in jail. The fine can reach $1,000, and the court may suspend the driver’s license for up to six months. An experienced traffic attorney can explore defenses such as radar calibration issues or speed‑measurement errors and may negotiate for a reduction to a lesser offense or a civil infraction.
Can a high‑speed ticket be reduced to a non‑moving violation?
In many Maryland District Courts, a high‑speed charge can be amended to a lesser speed infraction or, in some circumstances, resolved through Probation Before Judgment. A reduction could lower the points from 5 to 2 or even 1, which may keep you below the MVA hearing threshold. Each case depends on the driver’s record and the specific facts, and we assess every available option during a consultation.
Does a Maryland speed camera ticket count as a super speeder?
Speed camera tickets in Maryland are civil citations that carry only a $40 fine and absolutely no points. Because they are civil, not criminal, they are not reported to insurance and do not affect your driving record. These citations are not considered “moving violations” and do not fit the high‑speed, high‑points pattern that a Super Speeder designation suggests in other states.
What should I do immediately after receiving a high‑speed citation in Maryland?
Do not simply pay the ticket—paying the fine admits guilt and triggers the points and the MVA consequences. Request a trial date (usually within 30–60 days) and contact a traffic attorney promptly. Preserve any dash‑cam or phone footage that may be helpful, and write down your recollection of the speed, road conditions, and the officer’s statements while the details are fresh. Early preparation can make a significant difference in the outcome.
