Speeding ticket costs are quite different form jurisdiction to jurisdiction. In some states, speeding tickets are one flat rate, but in other states, drivers who exceeded the speed limit to a greater degree will see higher speeding ticket costs. Therefore, a state may assess one fee for a speeding violation of 1 - 10 mph over the posted speeding limit, but a different fee for a speeding violation of 11 - 20 mph over the posted speeding limit. Some states also add other charges onto speeding tickets, and in some states, you may incur additional fees if you contest your ticket in court and lose, such as court costs. If you hire an attorney to contest your speeding ticket, you obviously will spend additional funds, although, depending on the complexity of your case, you may find that attorney's fees are more affordable than you might realize. Be sure to take all of these costs into consideration before you decide how to resolve your speeding ticket, or, even better, before you decide to speed in the first place.
