Driver arrested under Super Speeder law was going 100 mph, Pembroke Pines cops say
A Pembroke Pines driver was arrested after police reported clocking him going 100 mph in a 45 mph zone, now a serious offense under Florida’s “Super Speeder” law that went into effect July 1.
The driver, who authorities identified as a 23-year-old man, was also driving with a suspended license, according to a social media post from the Pembroke Pines Police Department. The arrest took place at the 13600 block of Pembroke Road, and the man was placed under arrest on a charge of dangerous and excessive speeding.
Under the new law, drivers who exceed the posted speed limit by more than 50 mph — or go over 100 mph — face up to 30 days in jail and fines of $500 for a first offense, according to the state legislature. The violation also requires a mandatory court appearance, eliminating the previous “ticket-and-go” process where drivers could pay a fine without appearing in court.
Second offenses within five years can result in up to 90 days in jail, fines of $1,000, and repeat offenders may face a one-year license suspension, even if they avoid jail time.
Florida law treats all roads the same. Once a driver crosses into “reckless” speeds, the offense becomes criminal, regardless of whether it’s a rural road or a multi-lane highway.
Total arrests under the Super Speeder Law since July 1, 2025, are not yet publicly available. A public records request has been submitted to the Pembroke Pines Police Department.
“If you are traveling through Pembroke Pines and are speeding recklessly, expect to see flashing police lights in your rearview mirror,” police said in on social media. “Think twice and DRIVE SAFELY.”
