Understanding Super Speeder Charges in Washington County
While Maryland does not have a specific “super speeder” statute like some states, excessive speeding is aggressively prosecuted under existing laws. In Washington County, driving 30+ miles per hour over the posted limit can be charged as reckless driving, a misdemeanor under Md. Code, Transportation Art. § 21-901.1. This carries up to 6 months in jail, a $1,000 fine, and 6 points on your driving record. The firm, founded in 1997 by former prosecutor Mr. Sris, focuses on building strong defenses against these serious allegations.
