In the 1980's Montana had a $5.00 fine for "wasting fuel" occasionally issued to those going over 75 (no other speed limit). Clearly this was no deterrent to speeding. I kept two $5.00 bills in my pocket and crossed the state at 120mph without getting stopped (Motorcycle).

Now, for me, anything over $40.00 is hard to take! lol

But are $150-$500 tickets appropriate for 1-15mph over (on the open highway). Should they be based on income as in some countries and be potentially tens of thousands of $$ or more??

What $$$$ keeps you legal. What $$$$ would be an undue hardship for you?

I don't have extra to throw away. 5 over cost me $65 that I could have really used.

Partial copy and paste from our local law:

Miles per hour above the limit specified: 
1""10 $50 
11""15 75 
16""20 100 
21""25 200 
26+ Must appear 
 (Minimum $350) 


    VI. The fines for violations of subparagraph II(e) shall be as follows: 
Miles above the 65 mph limit: 
1""5 $65 
6""10 100 
11""15 150 
16""20 250 
21""25 350 
26+ Must appear

hell loosing my licenses would hurt more than the monetary fines but $150-500 for 15 over that is bad where I live construction zones are doubled and start at $200 so I don't know if that is for 5 over or what don't want to find out

I think means testing would be a great idea. That way the rich bozos who scoff at the law would have to dig into their pockets for real when they got caught pulling something.
