The law also involves increased penalties for repeat convictions.

A first conviction carries up to 30 days in jail, a $500 fine, or both. A second or subsequent conviction carries up to 90 days in jail, a $1,000 fine, or both. A second or subsequent conviction within five years also triggers a driving-privilege revocation of at least 180 days and up to one year.

On Monday, a man was arrested and charged under the “Super Speeder” law after he was accused of driving 115 mph on I-295 near 103rd Street. JSO said the driver nearly hit multiple vehicles on the highway. The man, who was driving a 2016 Mercedes CLA, was also accused of reckless driving.
