Excessive Speeding (20+ mph over) charges in South Dakota
Excessive speeding covers driving roughly 20 mph or more over the limit, which many states treat far more harshly than ordinary speeding. In some states it crosses into criminal 'reckless' or 'aggravated' speeding territory with mandatory penalties. In South Dakota, a conviction adds demerit points toward the South Dakota DPS suspension threshold of 15 points in 12 months, and the conviction follows you to your insurer.
