In my case I'm talking about getting cited for 70 in a 60 on a 6 lane interstate with little traffic.
On one hand, at least my state, anything under 11 over doesn't ding your insurance, but the fine is $161. The incident will go on record, though.
In a way the fine is setup so that most people just pay it and move on. However, if more people fought every ticket they received, the courts would be booked solid and judges would spend a very large amount of time overseeing speeding ticket cases.
I mean, sheesh, if the city needs money, I'd donate $250 in lieu of the citation, but something tells me that strategy would be interpreted as attempting to bribe a public official.
