Driving at an unlawful speed is the most common traffic violation in Jupiter. It should be noted, though, that speeding is not typically a crime, but rather an offense in its own class of traffic violations. Florida state law requires all drivers to drive at a speed which is prudent and reasonable under the conditions and with “regard to actual and potential hazards.” This means that it is possible to receive a citation for driving at an excessive speed even if a driver is going slower than the posted speed limit, depending on the hazards present on the road.
