The consequences of a speeding ticket depend on the circumstances. But generally, the possible penalties are:
1 to 20 miles per hour over the limit. $120 fine.
21 to 25 miles per hour over the limit. $140 fine.
26 to 34 miles per hour over the limit. Class B misdemeanor and carries up to six months in jail and a maximum $1,500 in fines.
35 miles per hour or more over the limit. Class A misdemeanor and carries up to one year in jail and a maximum $2,500 in fines.
70 miles or over the limit—you are declared an “honorary Kennedy” and appointed to the next open US Senate seat!
