A Martin County law targeting “super speeders” has led to 51 arrests since its enforcement as of July 29, 2025, according to the Martin County Sheriff’s Office. Florida’s new law went into effect on July 1, 2025.The latest incident occurred a few days ago when deputies arrested a driver who was pace-clocked at 119 mph on I-95 in a 70-mph zone. Body camera footage captured the arrest, with a deputy saying, “You’re under arrest for super speeding,” followed by the sound of handcuffs. Officials say this driver is not the only one violating the law. Earlier this month, deputies arrested another driver for reportedly traveling 115 mph and a third driver for traveling 114 mph.”We would like to think that drivers out there are going to do what it is that they have to do to not get arrested, but it seems that a lot of people nowadays, either they don’t care or they are just out there still speeding, still violating the law,” Lt. David Rosko said. The super speeder law allows for arrests instead of traffic tickets for drivers traveling 50 mph over the speed limit or exceeding 100 mph. “You can go to jail, and you will go to jail for violating the super speeder laws here in this county. We take it very seriously. A vast majority of our serious crashes are as a result of speed violations or people traveling way too fast for the conditions of which they are in,” Rosko said. Authorities hope drivers will slow down to prevent accidents and injuries.Stay up-to-date: The latest headlines and weather from WPBF 25Follow us on social: Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | TikTok | YouTube
