No, A Driver In Georgia Didn’t Get a $1.48 Million Speeding Ticket

A driver in Georgia recently received a speeding ticket for an astonishing amount of $1.48 million. However, it turns out that the high fine is not actually enforceable, and the driver doesn’t have to worry about paying such a massive amount.

The incident occurred when the Georgia State Patrol pulled over Connor Cato for driving at 90 miles per hour in a 55-mph zone. This is a violation of the state’s Super Speeder Law, which applies to anyone driving at 75 mph or more on a two-lane road or 85 mph on a highway. As a result, Cato was issued a mandatory court appearance and received an e-citation with a fine of $999,999.99 plus additional costs, leading to a notification of a $1.48 million fine.

However, according to a spokesperson from the City of Savannah, the enormous fine is not actually enforced. The reason behind the massive amount is that the software used by the police for super speeder tickets does not have a specific fine attached to them. The city authorities are working to adjust the language in e-citations to avoid confusion in the future.

In reality, the actual penalty for a speeding driver in Georgia cannot exceed $1,000 plus fees.

The Super Speeder Law requires drivers to pay any local fines for speeding, along with an additional $200 fee. If the ticket is not settled within 120 days, the state suspends the driver’s license and imposes an additional $50 charge. The fees collected from these penalties contribute to funding the trauma care hospital system in the state. This law has been in effect since January 1, 2010.

It is worth mentioning that some countries have different approaches to charging speeders. For instance, in Finland, fines are determined based on the person’s income. One example is a Finnish businessman named Anders Wiklöf, who received a ticket equivalent to $129,400 for going 51 mph in a 31-mph zone. The police also suspended his license for ten days. Similarly, Switzerland holds the record for the highest speeding ticket in the world, which can be as high as $1,091,340 and is based on the offender’s income.

Corvette Driver Crashes Into Wall, Spins, and Drives Away on Highway

Dashcams can capture some wild moments on video, and this incident involving a speeding Corvette is a perfect example. The shocking scene shows the black Corvette speeding down an onramp, losing control of the rear end, and hitting the wall with its nose. The driver then overcorrects the steering wheel, causing the car to spin across multiple lanes of traffic. Despite the crash, the Corvette driver continues driving from the far left lane to the far right, with a small piece falling off the car. The video ends with the Corvette disappearing in the distance.

Since the camera doesn’t record audio, it’s unknown whether the driver reacted to the incident with any surprised expletives or whether other drivers honked their horns.

The video was originally posted on Reddit’s IdiotsInCars sub-forum. Motor1.com has reached out to the creator for more information about the incident and will provide an update if more details are received.

Based on available information, the incident took place on September 8, 2023, around 7 PM local time, on Interstate 5 in Seattle, Washington. The video was posted on Reddit on September 12.

Unfortunately, the video’s low resolution makes it impossible to identify the Corvette’s license plate number. This lack of identifying information would pose a challenge for law enforcement in tracking down the driver.

Dashcams have captured numerous amazing incidents in the past. For instance, Motor1.com previously covered a video where two dealership employees took a 2016 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 on a high-speed test drive without authorization while the vehicle was supposed to be undergoing repairs. The car incurred damage, but the shop provided free parts for the repairs.

There is also a whole genre of YouTube videos featuring Tesla dashcams capturing various bizarre incidents. One example is a viral clip of a Tesla capturing a wheel coming off a pickup truck and launching a Kia Soul into the air.
