Speeding Ticket Defense Lawyer in Maryland
Speeding tickets are among the most common traffic violations-but not all speeding tickets are the same. In Maryland, penalties increase dramatically for excessive speeding (30+ mph over the limit) and can now factor into reckless driving charges.
New Maryland Law Enhances Penalties
As of October 1, 2025, speeding 30 mph or more over the limit now qualifies as reckless driving, subjecting you to up to 60 days in jail and 6 points on your license. Learn more about the changes in our recent blog post.
Consequences of a Speeding Conviction
- Fines of up to $1,000
- Points on your license (up to 6)
- Insurance rate hikes
- Possible suspension for repeat violations
