Most expensive speeding ticket you've had or seen?

I've had 2-3 ever. Just learned I owe the fine Town of Welsh, LA $194 for going 15 over on I-10. It's probably correct but I was trying to pass a truck spewing rocks.
That seems a bit excessive to me; like way excessive.
$200 for 15 over on an interstate?

I just got my first speeding ticket for 10 over just outside of Jena. It was $400. I lost it, I'm 27 years old with a perfectly clean driving record and there was no visible speed limit sign in the area. Meaning I turned off a road that was 65 to a road that was 55, and there was no sign the 3 miles I was on it when pulled over. I was not happy, but just smiled and let him do his thing. I have been working to get this reduced for a month.

So you were doing 65?

Just being honest here, I think I have 4 tickets on my record and have gotten about 7 total. Most of them in a bullshite zone around BR and 1 in gump land . All have run around 180-240

Yea, I was just gonna pay the fine whatever I was going 65 so it is what it is. I refuse to pay $400 for a ticket with clean record. I'm sure I can get it off my record, it's just the principal of the thing.

It guess $194 for 15 over is not too bad.
Absolutely ridiculous.

Something doesn't seem right about that. Is that the only thing on your ticket line items?

$375 for 12 over in Tensas Parish.

Sure was. I was actually completely nice to the guy and just let him do his thing. When I called and got the amount I called my Father in Law up, who lives in Jena, trying to figure out what the hell was going on. He was shocked, but literally that was the only thing I was ticketed for.
ETA: Moral of story is don't speed in Lasalle Parish.

Not speeding but I got a red light camera ticket in Beverly Hills that was over $500 in the mid 2000s. I ignored it but goddamn!

Only source of revenue for these rural parishes...I believe the actual "Ticket" was $200 but 4 years ago they wanted $175 for processing/etc. to avoid me appearing in person. As a courtesy for this, they dropped it to a non-moving.
Complete racket.

$275 for going 26 over. 
Speed went down from 55 to 45 only when the flashing lights were on. To this day, I swear those lights were not flashing.

Sounds about right: Id say I've paid around 3k in my lifetime in speeding tickets, tint tickets, and "court fees"

$350 for going 28 in a school zone at 3:50PM. Thanks Gretna.

This morning I heard about the guy in Finland that got the $60,000 dollar speeding ticket. Fines are apparently income based over there.

I got caught doing 78 in a 55 (the speed limit had dropped from 65 less than a mile before). The ticket was supposed to be like $220 or something absurd.
I ended up getting it reduced because I showed up for my court date to contest it and it was my first offense.

Across the river? I've never been bothered by a BR cop about my tint.
