(FYI) SPEEDING TICKETS NOT CONSIDERED MOVING VIOLATIONS
Effective July 01, 2001, the speed limits in Kansas were amended and included a 10-mile per hour buffer on highways and interstates where the authorized speed limit is at least 55 mph but not exceeding 70 mph (K.S.A. 8-1560(d)).
Effective July 01, 2007, K.S.A. 8-1560(d) was amended to include a 6-mile per hour buffer where the authorized speed limit is at least 30 mph but not exceeding 54 mph.
Speed Limit Buffer
55-70 mph 10 mph buffer
30-54 mph 6 mph buffer
A speeding conviction that is within the allowed buffer limits is not to be considered a moving violation or be recorded on the driving record. Any speeding conviction occurring where the authorized speed limit is other than those listed above is considered a moving violation and the conviction is entered on the driving record.
