Got a heavy foot? If either of two bills working their way through the Florida Legislature pass, "super speeders" could see dramatically higher fines, lose their licenses, and have their vehicles impounded.

Both bills add driving more than 50 mph over the speed limit or driving more than 100 mph under any circumstances to the definition of "reckless driving" under state law, and both bills increase those penalties.

Under House Bill 351 from Rep. Susan Plasencia, R-Winter Park, the fine for reckless driving, currently $25 to $500, would become a flat $500. A second offense means a flat fine of $5,000 (up from the current $50 to $1,000) and revocation of driver's license for a year, although the arresting officer has some leeway.

Under State Bill 1782 , filed by Sen. Jason W. B. Pizzo, D-Hollywood, the fine for reckless driving would be raised to up to $1,000 for th first offense, the driver's driving privileges would be revoked for six months and their vehicle could be impounded for 30 days. For a second offense, the fine would be at least $2,500, with a one-year license suspension and a 30-day impoundment.

Potential jail time (90 days for first offense, six months after that) remains the same. However, speeders may get a slight break: another bill (SB 462) would raise the speed limits in Florida by 5 mph.

What would HB 351, Traffic Infractions do?

What would SB 1782: Traffic Enforcement do?

When would HB 351 or SB 109 take effect?

If passed by the Florida Legislature and signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis, either bill would go into effect on July 1, 2025.
