Florida’s extreme speeding law, section 316.1926, Florida Statutes, continues to shift certain traffic offenses into the criminal arena. Drivers alleged to be traveling 100 mph or more, or 50 mph over the posted limit, may face misdemeanor charges rather than a simple citation. This exposes individuals — often with no prior record — to possible jail time, probation, and a permanent criminal history. As enforcement of Florida’s extreme speeding law continues, these cases increasingly require careful evaluation of both the legality of the stop and the accuracy of speed measurement.
