we all need to step up and put a stop to the stupidity in government, florida or otherwise! Yes, 30+ is not a safe thing but what they can do to you and others for some that really petty compared to other "criminal problems" that are not addressed. We are losing are liberties everyday and we are not doing anything about it! Time for a change! Can you imagine doing 45mph in 15 mph (and the normal speed limit is 45)school zone and you could go to "prison"? Yeah, lets start building more prisons! Jeez! crap like this just PO's me!

Well its all retarded, the guy that started the law witnessed wheelies, where does the speed come in? Those things pull wheelies at the first stab of the throttle. I like how it was also amended due to motorcyclists complaining it was biased, when the people who complained probably can't pull a wheelie. Hell and how did they complain, obviously this is the first we heard about it, or a **** ton of people would have complained about the whole damn thing.

This whole thing is BS. After October 1st ill be running. Hell how many people do 85-90 on the highway in a 70? This is completely rediculous. People should call their local reps and tell them how they feel, maybe thatll get something done so this jackass govenor doesnt **** too many peoples lives up.

this wasn't made public at all!!!
i am pretty good at keeping up with the news... i didn't hear about this at all.
we have so many 60mph areas. if you do 90 on the pike... you're done???
wtf? they should crack down on all those pigs that cruise next to you doin' 90+ while you're goin the limit.
this is a bill right??? the general public can change it... cuz this is all bullshit.

This law deals with motorcycles only, the 30 mph over was raised to 50 and they can't seize your bike until your third offense.

I have heard of this law before. It does indeed apply to motorcyclists. I stopped once for 15 over. Now if im at 5 or 6+ and a cop even remotely looks like they are coming after me, i break away, plain and simple, hit 140 before they even turn on the lights, hehe.
A friend of mine got busted 110 in a 45, and almost got away. He got 10 days in jail before bail, and suspended lisence for a year. So, id rather run and get caught, then take the new penalty for speed. But, i guess if you dont have a bike then dont worry about it too much. and 50 over, what cop in his right mind is gonna chase you when your already at 50+ the speed limit?!?!?
