Speeding ticket law defines the infractions for which you can be charged with a moving violation. Every state has its own set of traffic laws. Many rules are similar across states but there are several interesting differences in laws across the states.
It's important for you to understand the differences of laws as you are traveling across different states. Ignorance is not an acceptable excuse for violating a traffic statute. Before going on a vacation you should familiarize yourself with the laws in each of the states that you will be traveling across.
As a starting point, here are some of the unique items across various states:
- Georgia does not charge a fine for speeding 5 mph or less over the limit.
- Florida requires warnings for speeding 5 mph or less over the limit outside a school zone.
- Delaware limits local police authority on state highways
- Iowa allows for the possibility of license suspension for 25 mph over the limit.
- Kansas does not put a ticket of speeding less than 80 mph in a 70 zone
- Minnesota speeding cars lose the right of way at intersections and can lose their license for six months if driving over 100 mph
- New Mexico really does not want you to drive more than 26 mph over the limit or exceed 75 mph because they may suspend you license. Interestingly, they will not apply any points to your record if caught speeding in rural areas.
- New York is tough on excessive speeding. They may jail you for 15 days for going more than 11 mph over the speed limit. For your safety, New York state police will only use marked cars to pull you over.
- Ohio is lenient because they may only suspend your license for 7 days not including fines for speeding 36 mph in a 70 or 75 mph zone or 46 mph in another zone.
- Virginia loves their turn signals because if you do not use them it is considered reckless driving. You may see yourself behind bars if you travel more than 90 mph on the Interstate.
- California prohibits certain types of speed traps.
As you can see there is a wide variation of laws across the country. It is your responsibility for looking up these laws. The last thing that you want is to be arrested and put behind bars while you are on vacation. On the bright side, you may find the quiet time to be very enlightening. Remember to not get caught by an unfamiliar speeding ticket law.
