2/21/08-Gov. Dave Heineman has signed a bill into law to fine so-called “super speeders” $300 and tack a four-point deduction on driver’s licenses. It takes effect in mid-July.
State law already authorizes speeders to face up to $200 fines and a three-point deduction for exceeding the posted speed limit by at least 20 mph. Drivers can lose their licenses when they accumulate 12 points in any two-year period.
The new law, previously LB621, adds another level of fine amounts. It applies the new penalties to those caught speeding by more than 35 mph on roadways in the state – including interstates and residential areas.
