Our Attorney Understands the Possible Penalties for a Speeding Ticket in King of Prussia, PA

Many drivers assume they will only face a fine for a speeding violation. There are other considerations that could cost you more than money. Still, the fines can be significant if you exceed the speed limit by more than a few miles an hour.

When you get a speeding ticket in King of Prussia, the fines start at $35 or, if you were driving on a freeway or expressway, $42.50. If you were exceeding the posted limit by more than five miles per hour, you will face additional fines.

You will also receive points on your driver’s license. The number of points you receive also depends on how much you exceeded the speed limit. This could affect your driving privileges if you receive too many points over time.

What Additional Penalties Could You Face for a Speeding Ticket?

Sometimes, the circumstances that led to your stop or where the speeding occurred could affect the penalties you could face. Examples include:

• Racing on the highway will result in the suspension or revocation of your driver’s license
• Speeding in a work zone will double your fine
• Repeat offenses could bring additional penalties

Some consequences of repeated speeding tickets include:

• A license suspension if you accumulate six or more points on your license
• Increased fines for repeat offenders
• Mandatory enrollment in a PennDOT-approved driving safety course

The best way to avoid the harshest penalties associated with a speeding ticket—especially if you have previous offenses or were in a work or school zone at the time—is to work with the King of Prussia speeding ticket lawyer from our team. We can develop a strong defense based on your case facts.

What Is Considered Speeding in King of Prussia?

Local and state police write speeding violations based on Pennsylvania’s vehicle code, primarily 75 Pa. C.S.A § 3362. This section of the code sets the maximum speed limits based on the type of road, area, and traffic load. Generally, this limit is set at:

• 35 miles per hour in an urban area
• 65 or 70 miles per hour on freeways and expressways
• 25 miles per hour in residential areas or as set by local ordinances

Some areas may have different speed limits because of various factors, such as whether it is a numbered highway or if there is heavy pedestrian traffic.

Drivers could receive a speeding ticket if they are operating their vehicle faster than the posted speed limit. Alternatively, state law also allows law enforcement to ticket drivers who are driving at a speed that is unsafe based on the current conditions, even if that is below the posted speed limit.

What Are the Most Common Defenses Used by Our King of Prussia Speeding Ticket Lawyer?

Our attorney can develop a strong and compelling defense based on the circumstances of your speeding ticket. Some of the most common potential defenses in these cases include:

• The radar detection device or other technology used was improperly calibrated or malfunctioning
• The driver had a legitimate emergency situation
• The driver was not the one the officer saw speeding
• It was unclear what the speed limit was due to missing or hidden signs
• The officer based the case on questionable observation or judgment, which is common in cases when drivers are ticketed for going too fast for the conditions
