A Georgia man was left reeling after receiving a $1.4 million speeding ticket, but Savannah officials say the figure was just a placeholder generated by software, not the actual fine.

Connor Cato told WSAV-TV that he received the citation after getting pulled over in September for driving 90 miles per hour in a 55 mph zone.

He called the court thinking the figure was a typo.

Not exactly, officials said — but in order to hear the actual fine, which cannot exceed $1,000, Cato must appear in court before a judge. “Super speeders,” or motorists driving more than 35 mph above the limit, are required to go to court.

The figure Cato received reflected a “placeholder” that was automatically generated by e-citation software used by the local Recorder’s Court, said Joshua Peacock, a spokesman for Savannah’s city government, according to The Associated Press. The actual fine cannot exceed $1,000 in addition to state-mandated costs.

“We do not issue that placeholder as a threat to scare anybody into court, even if this person heard differently from somebody in our organization,” Peacock told The Associated Press.

He added that the court “is currently working on adjusting the placeholder language to avoid any confusion.”

The “placeholder” fine has been in place since 2017, according to reports.
