The Orange County Sheriff’s Office is busy enforcing the super speeder law, providing a shocking update on the battle against excessive speeding.
Drivers should be well aware that OCSO is enforcing the super speeder law since it was championed by Orange County Sheriff John Mina.
Since Florida’s new Super Speeder Law took effect July 1, 2025, Orange County deputies have made nearly 200 arrests, OCSO stated in a recent update.
Many of those arrested drivers were clocked at 115 MPH or higher, and some even had children in the car.
If you are caught driving 50 MPH or more over the limit or over 100 MPH, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office says you are not getting a ticket, you are going to jail and your car will be towed. According to law enforcement, at those speeds you are endangering others, and OCSO is not tolerating that driving behavior in Orlando and Central Florida.
The penalties include:
- First Offense
- up to 30 days in jail and/or a fine of $500
- points added to your license (risk of suspension)
- vehicle may be towed and impounded
- Second Offense (within 5 years of the first)
- up to 90 days in jail and/or a fine of $1,000
- driver’s license revoked for 180 days to 1 year
According to the Orange County Sheriff, speeding is a leading cause of serious crashes and fatalities in Orange County and Florida. The Super Speeder Law is designed to save lives and keep roads safe. Drivers are encouraged to obey the posted speed limit, stay alert and avoid aggressive driving, and to remember speeding risks your life and others’ lives, your license, and your freedom.
“Slow down. It’s not worth your life, or anyone else’s,” the Orange County Sheriff’s Office stated.
A super speeder is a driver who commits dangerous excessive speeding when operating a motor vehicle, which is defined as at 50 MPH or more over the posted speed limit, and/or at 100 MPH or more and in a manner that threatens the safety of other persons, property, or interferes with the operation of any vehicle. Review more in the state statutes.
