Florida man is selling his Lamborghini after state's new Super Speeder law begins

After the introduction of the ‘Super Speeder law’ in Florida, one Lamborghini owner has decided the supercar life is no longer for them.

Supercars have two main appeals – driving fast and looking good.

Both intertwine with the other, with the ultimate goal of owning a Lamborghini being to attract eyeballs at high speeds.

But when you can’t drive fast, simply looking good isn’t enough for some people to warrant keeping their supercars.

Super Speeder law is cracking down on supercar ownership

Combatting speeding is high on the priority list for the police in most states throughout the US, which comes as bad news for supercar owners.

Lately we’ve seen Missouri state troopers deploy ‘ghost graphics’ to catch unaware speeders.

Now Florida has rolled out the Super Speeder law, which is already cracking down on people who aren’t abiding by the limits.

After the first person was jailed for exceeding the limit – either 50mph over the legal speed or anywhere in excess of 100mph – one Lamborghini owner is selling up in fear of facing the same fate.

Taking to a Reddit post, a Lamborghini owner said that the jail sentencing was enough to put them off wanting to own the car altogether.

“I can do the $500 fine but I’m having a problem with the jail part.,” they said.

“Go directly to jail, do not pass Go, do not collect $200. Waaaaa.”

Drivers fear new speeding laws will hit other States

Seeing the effectiveness of the Super Speeder law, other drivers are now expecting similar treatment elsewhere in the country.

One Texan has already backed the Florida man by saying they’d do the same.

“Just moved my perf from Florida to Texas, but hadn’t heard of this yet. If they bring anything of that nature to Texas I’ll be doing the same,” they commented.

Another added, “I had no intention of going to Florida and now there is no way I will go there/ drive there

The month-long jail sentence might isn’t the harshest punishment out there though.

One person was fined $129,000 for speed related offences in Finland, while fellow European countries actually impounds cars if a driver exceeds even the most menial limits, like this Bugatti Chiron in Austria.

In that case, the Chiron was ultimately returned to the owner, but that’s not always the case, as Danish authorities have been known to auction the cars off after speeding offences.
