I believe that is the ticket for speeding, not DUI.

Dang, looks like cheaper motels for us next year. What’s the tax on a pack of smokes?

The same thing has happened in in Hampton Roads. They couldn’t pass a tax hike, so these were formed as a way to raise “fees”.

Don’t drive drunk and you won’t get a $3,500 ticket.
That's a garden variety speeding ticket, not a DUI.

“That’s a garden variety speeding ticket, not a DUI.”
Wrong. The biggest speeding ticket is for going more than 20 mph (reckless driving) over the speed limit, not for “garden-variety speeding.” The new fine for reckless driving is $1,050. If you’re driving 20 mph over the limit you are a menace. No question.
I don’t personally agree with these fines that affect just in-state drivers. I know many here will disagree, but I think we should raise the gas tax, which I see as more of a user fee than a tax. If you drive a lot, you pay more for the roads you use. And folks from out of state also pay for the pavement they are wearing out. It just makes sense.
