I know someone who got a ticket for over $4000 and lost his license (road racing in Japan). In some countries, fines are proportional to your income so people get hit with tickets in the hundreds of thousands: https://www.gizmag.com/the-worlds-most-expensive-speeding-fine/14981/

Edit: Permanent confiscation laws make for expensive tickets as well... that probably makes the confiscated Veyron owner the winner for most expensive ticket.

$440.00 on US77 near Saritas, TX.

102 in a 55 work zone. There were no workers present. I had to return to appear before the judge.

I got one in my early 20s that was 650. Had one before that that was in the 400 range.

Yea, I was just gonna pay the fine whatever I was going 65 so it is what it is. I refuse to pay $400 for a ticket with clean record. I'm sure I can get it off my record, it's just the principal of the thing.



Better call Sal

O request a trial by a jury of your peers.

I forget the exact price because I ended up getting out if it, but 84 in a 45.

It was near $500.

I got caught doing 78 in a 55 (the speed limit had dropped from 65 less than a mile before). The ticket was supposed to be like $220 or something absurd.

I ended up getting it reduced because I showed up for my court date to contest it and it was my first offense.


Exact thing happened to me last weekend in Boutte, LA except it was a 77 in a 55. Where were you?

Got on for 577 dollars for going 93 in a 65 in Southern VA back in the summer of 2004. My dad still gives me shite for that. Got one for 180 Euros in Stuttgart in 2010. It came with a 30 day suspension or the option to double the fine. So 360 Euros (about 520 dollars at the time, give or take).

Got a couple when I was younger that were in the 300's. This was the "pay this and we'll move it off your driving record rate". Not sure if that is more expensive than the normal rate. Both were 85mph in some BS 60mph "construction zone".

Any amount over the speed limit in College Station TX is $335. And it goes up from there. Unconscionable.
