Understanding Texas Speeding Laws
In Texas, speeding violations are governed by the Texas Transportation Code.
Georgetown speed limits are set based on the type of road and area:
- Urban Districts: Typically 30 mph unless otherwise posted.
- Highways: Speed limits can range from 55 mph to 75 mph, depending on the specific highway.
- School Zones and Construction Areas: Reduced speed limits are strictly enforced for safety reasons.
Exceeding these speed limits can result in varying levels of penalties, which makes understanding the specifics of your charge crucial. Excessive speeding, which is typically defined as driving 25 mph or more over the speed limit, can lead to a more serious ticket and even a misdemeanor charge for reckless driving in certain circumstances.
No matter how fast the officer said you were going, Winters & Chidester may be able to help. Our Georgetown speeding ticket attorneys understand Texas traffic laws and can help you fight your ticket or charge effectively.
Potential Consequences of a Speeding Ticket
A speeding ticket in Georgetown can lead to several penalties. Fines vary depending on how much you exceeded the speed limit and can range from $150 to $500. Increased fines or penalties may apply if you receive a speeding ticket in a school zone or construction zone. If you accumulate 4+ violations in 12 months or 7+ violations in 24 months, your license may be suspended. You may also face higher insurance premiums.
By consulting a speeding ticket lawyer in Georgetown, you can work to mitigate these consequences.
