What do you think the fine for speeding (1-15 mph over) SHOULD be (and what is it locally for you).?
Follow-up to this Q? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AteId...
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.
