If you travel through Georgia, come July, an additional $200 fee will be added to your fine if you're stopped for being a "superspeeder." A "superspeeder" is one who travels faster than 85 m.p.h. on multi-lane highways or 75 m.p.h. on two lane highways. For further information on this law, click the link below.

Personally, I don't mind anyone driving 80+. The problem is from those people who just speed no matter what, whenever they want -- especially in poor weather conditions. Driving fast like some people do -- all of the time -- is very stupid. A lot of people are driving 60 or 70 m.p.h. through residential areas and school zones, which isn't safe for anyone. If you're doing 80 or better down an open highway -- two lane or otherwise -- that's fine. Many of the accidents that occur are from impatient drivers, who are sometimes inexperienced and cannot handle driving that fast.
Also, speed in and of itself doesn't kill. Inexperience, impatience and thinking "Oh, I can drive fast whenever I want, because I'm a superior driver" is what kills.
'Til later.
