Some states impose stricter traffic regulations aimed at ensuring safe roads
Traffic laws can be complex, and the United States is no exception. To ensure road safety and maintain orderly traffic flow among drivers, it is essential that laws are enforced with penalties to preserve transportation balance. However, some of these restrictions may be perceived as excessive.
Some states impose stricter traffic regulations aimed at ensuring safe roads. Below are six states with the strictest traffic laws in the United States.
6 states with strict traffic laws in the U.S.
Oregon
Oregon stands out for its severe penalties for traffic violations. The state imposes fines that can reach up to $2,000 for speeding violations. Additionally, driving at over 100 miles per hour is considered reckless driving in Oregon and can result in a 90-day license suspension.
Arizona
Arizona has some of the toughest laws in the country for driving under the influence of alcohol. A first offense for adults over 21 can lead to jail time ranging from 24 hours to ten days, a base fine of $250, and a license suspension of 90 days to one year, with penalties increasing for repeat offenses. Minors caught driving under the influence face a $1,600 fine, jail time, and a license suspension ranging from 90 to 360 days.
Georgia
Georgia’s Super Speeder Law, effective since January 1, 2010, applies to drivers exceeding 75 mph on two-lane roads or 85 mph on any road or highway in the state. In addition to local fines and fees, there is a fixed $200 fee in this state that, if not paid within the first 120 days, results in the suspension of the license and a $50 additional payment.
Delaware
Delaware is one of the strictest states in the country regarding reckless driving enforcement. Reckless driving is defined here as operating a vehicle with intentional or reckless disregard for the safety of people or property. For a first offense, penalties include a fine ranging from $100 to $300 and possible jail time of 10 to 30 days, or both. Subsequent offenses within three years can result in fines increasing from $300 to $1,000 and jail time from 30 to 60 days.
New Jersey
In New Jersey, exceeding the speed limit by 10 mph or more is referred to as “racing on the highway.” This law prohibits driving on a public road for gambling, racing, or setting speed records, with much left to the judge’s discretion. If convicted, fines depend on the speed at which the driver was traveling, along with a potential license suspension of up to 30 days and likely increases in insurance rates.
Virginia
Virginia’s reckless driving laws are stringent. Exceeding 80 mph anywhere in the state or going over the speed limit by 20 mph constitutes reckless driving. Under this law, an officer can issue a citation based solely on observation, and penalties may include fines of up to $2,500, up to one year of jail time, and a driver’s license suspension for up to six months.
