AN ACT CONCERNING PENALTIES FOR SPEEDING AND RECKLESS DRIVING.

HB 5059 increases penalties for speeding and reckless driving by raising fines and license consequences for excessive speeding. Drivers caught going 86-99 mph face at least $500 in fines plus 2 license points, while those exceeding 99 mph face $1,000 fines, 4 points, and a 30-day license suspension without a hearing. Repeat offenders violating speeding or reckless driving laws within 10 years would face 6-12 month license suspensions. The bill directly affects drivers in Connecticut who exceed speed limits, with no changes to the underlying speed laws themselves.
