What bothers me most about speeding tickets is the fine is generally only 20-50 buck but then they tack on court cost and fees even if you do not dispute the ticket and just pay it's over 100 bucks. It's all for generating money and the worst part of it there is a monthly quota of tickets to be written and if the officers have not been keeping up then the end of the month is the most active for all law enforcement city,county,and state. I have been told that the police can only write tickets in the city and sheriffs can write tickets in the city and county and state troopers can write tickets any where in the state.

Don't want to forget the points on license and then your insurance company comes for more ! Tack on several hundred dollars each year for 3 years on top of that. And to add insult injury, travel in a different state, you are subject to being stopped first before any of the local drivers, get a ticket and when you get home, it shows on your record with the points. Fighting a ticket in a different state is almost impossible !
