For a third offense of speeding, what is the suspension period?

The suspension period for a third offense of speeding is one year. This reflects the Massachusetts law's approach to managing repeat offenders by imposing increasingly severe penalties. The longer suspension period is intended to deter individuals from violating the speed limit again and emphasizes the seriousness of speeding, especially for drivers with prior offenses. A one-year suspension can significantly impact a driver’s ability to operate a vehicle legally and encourages them to comply with traffic laws in the future.

In contrast, shorter suspension periods do not apply in this case, since they pertain to lesser offenses or first and second speeding violations.
