How much is a fine for a speeding ticket?

Answer 1

That depends on several things: the posted speed limit, the speed at which you were going, the state you were in, and the mood of the cop that pulls you over. There are sometimes other extenuating circumstances, such as the profession you are in and the color of your skin, but we'll try to ignore those imbalances for now. I've seen speeding tickets from $40 to $400, but the range is probably wider than that. :) It also depends on the state. In some places the amount of fine goes up for every 10 mph you are over the limit. $1/mile for the first 10, $2/mile for the second, $3/mile for the third, as an example. I doubt you would get off that cheap these days. Then there are court costs, etc. In some places, once you hit a limit of 30 mph over the limit, they tack on reckless driving charges and things tend to get a bit crazy. Suspended license, etc. Did I mention that your insurance rates will probably go up too?

Answer 2

That varies state to state and county to county, speeding in most cases is a minor offense, however, how much you go over the speed limit can make the fine more expensive and how many points go on your driver's license. So for speeding tickets in general, there is no exact amount.

If the officer that pulls you over decides that your speeding was just ridiculously over the speed limit (perhaps 30+ over), they can take you to jail and charge you with reckless driving, which in Indiana is a Class B Misdemeanor (again varies on your area). Class A is the highest misdemeanor and Class D is the lowest.
