"Traffic fines in the state are set to rise dramatically, ranging from the $750 fine for driving without a license to the eyebrow raising $1,050 speeding ticket."

Fucking sickening. A speeding ticket is now going to ruin somebody's year if they have to pay $1,050.

tell that to the person who has their life ruined when a family member is killed be cause some dipshit is doing 70 in a 50

70 in a 50 is absolutely nothing. The speed limits should be raised with the advancements and in safety and design, they just keep them that low to gain tons of money in taxes because they can't find any other way to legally steal citizens money.

whoever thinks a 1500$ fine is bad for speeding, you should see what they do in toronto if they catch anyone racing.

they destroy your car.

You call that harsh ? Come to Ontario here in Canada. Things have just gotten out of fucking hand in the past 4 months. JUST rediculous.

Zoner · 07-04-2007, 01:26 PM

If you don't break the law (like me) you have nothing to worry about.

Out of curiosity what are the speed limits on everyone's local highways?

Near me the limits seem to all be around 55mph.

$1,000 speeding ticket seems ridiculous to me.

I was doing 27kph over on my way to BC and the ticket was $175

Speed limits:
Inside city 80kmh/50mph
Outside city 110kmh/68mph

I have heard Ontario wanted to smash cars of "suspected" racers. That would be BS in my opinion. You need to catch someone doing a crime before you can punish them. The car would need to be illegal or they would need to be caught doing an illegal act.

i don't care...wherever the speeding limit is 60 here (KM/h) it should be at least 70...even 80...like come on if you can't drive that "fast" you shouldn't even have a license...

Proteus · 07-04-2007, 02:36 PM

To destroy somebody's property is cruel and unusual to begin with.

Is anybody else hammered already?

MadMan · 07-04-2007, 04:25 PM

got busted doing 60mph in a 45mph zone,
cost me $350.00 USD. to pay it,
if I had taken Traffic school it would have only been a meer $340.00 oOo:

How about 350 for a failure to use correct signal in VA?
