Speeding tickets are dumb as ****. About 2003 I got justifiably pulled over in Ohio for 103 in a 60 in my 2001 Firebird (officer said I was still accelerating but that's what he got officially), had a court appearance in my city (lucky they didn't impound the car) plead guilty and walked away with $436 USD fine. No points, no insurance increase.
Fast forward 10 years when I'm going duck hunting in a tiny Ohio town I've never been to, trying to find the docks, and I get pulled over for going 43 in a 25 when the speed limit dropped from 45 to 25 AS SOON as I crossed into a 1 stoplight town. $186 speeding ticket, mandatory court appearance 200 miles away form home for a misdemeanor, 3 points on my license, and insurance almost doubles.
