Super-Speeder Fines On The Way

Governor Sonny Perdue today will sign the so-called 'super speeder' legislation. The bill will slap Georgia drivers who speed much higher than the speed limit with stiff new fines. Lawmakers who back the legislation say 23-million dollars would be generated, and would be directed toward Georgia’s cash-starved network of trauma hospitals. An extra $200 fine would be levied against drivers busted driving 85 miles-an-hour on four-lane roads or interstates, or 75 mph on two-lane roads. This has been legislation Perdue has been pushing for three years.
