Beware of New Year’s Day Super Speeder Law

Beware, starting New Year’s Day the Super Speeder Law takes effect around Metro Atlanta and the State of Georgia.
For those with a heavy foot, watch out! The new law adds an additional $200 fine if you’re traveling 85 miles per hour or more. On two lane roads the ticket kicks in at 75 miles per hour or more.
That fine comes in a form of a separate letter sent from the State of Georgia. A speeder will have to pay the original ticket which normally carries a steep fine and have 90 days in which to pay the additional $200. state fine. Needless to say, if the fine is not paid the driver’s license will be suspended.
The Governor’s Office of Highway Safety is hoping this will help reduce accidents and save life’s.
The Super Speeder Law officially goes into effect on New Year’s Day, Jan. 1, 2010. Apparently, there is no other law in any state similar to it making this is the first law of it’s kind in the nation.

Tennessee head coach Lane Kiffin will be looking for a bowl win to cap his first season leading the Vols. VaTech head man Frank Beamer wants a win to finish strong on what has been an up-and-down season in Blacksburg.
