How much does a 'ticket' cost?

The thread about avoiding a ticket got me thinking. How much does a ticket cost in your country/state?

Since speeding limits and laws vary, lets put the description of the penalty along with the cost.

To start things of, here are a few:

1. Not wearing a seatbelt - 50 Euros (67 USD)
2. Going 21-50 km/h (13-30 mph) over the limit in a 50 km/h (30 mph) zone - 60-200 Euros (80-270 USD), mandatory lose the license at least 30 days, and add 5 points to your driving license... if no accident was caused by doing so. If it was, the penalties are doubled.
3. Driving through a red light - 150-300 Euros (200-400 USD), 6 points on your license, lose the license for at least 3 months. Doubled if by doing so you cause an accident or endanger others.
4. Refusing an alco/drug test - Mandatory at least 15 days in prison, 14 points on your license and lose the license for at least 8 months.

If you collect 18 points you lose the license for up to two years. After the judge rules for how long you lose it and that passes, you have to wait 3 more months, then you have to take special courses about driving safety, get a physical exam, pass another test on driving and safety, and only after all that can you get a license again. Each time you reach the limit, the limit on your next license is reduced by 3 points.

To put things into perspective, the average monthly salary is 350 Euros (470 USD).

I got a speeding ticket this year. 56 in a 35 mph zone in the Shelby. Cost me $425 for court fees and another $75 in traffic school and certificate fees. Total cost $500 :(

A friend got a modified exhaust ticket and its costing him $1,200

Another friend got a speeding ticket for going 112 in a 65 mph zone and only the court fee so far is $1,400. Sure there will be more fees and community service or jail time. Suspended license possibility too.

I got a speeding ticket (12 over) a few years ago in Jackson, MI and it was $100

Overall with the insurance raise cause of the ticket, I think it costed me a little over $2000

I'm currently waiting for a ruling on a ticket from example #2. I'm not sure what, if any, court costs would be on top of the ticket cost that I posted.

I got a speeding ticket from the state troopers a couple years ago, 50 in a 35 zone.... cost me $325.

-tg

Only ticket I've gotten was for no front license plate -- cost me 110$

Several years ago I got one for an expired parking meter - think it was $50 - and more recently I've gotten one for not turning my wheels toward the curb when parked on a hill - it was $47.

Feels like I got off cheap compared to the rest of the thread.

I got a speeding ticket twenty years ago. I forget the amount, but it was probably about $50.

Are exhaust mods illegal in Cali, or am I missing what you mean? I personally have a Flowmaster kit on the Silverado SS and the wife has a Magnaflow kit on the Charger SRT-8.

Strangely enough, I've never gotten a speeding ticket (wife either). I've done up to 120mph in the Charger before on the interstate, but only because I knew that part very well and exactly where the cops hide every time.

Yes, its illegal to modify your exhaust with an exhaust system that is not C.A.R.B. legal or compliant. This is the vast majority of parts that are not compliant as for the manufacturer to get their part certified it needs to be low emissions and sound etc.

If you drive respectfully and lower RPMs then you usually have no problems. But some like to rev it up high when driving because it sounds so sick lol.

I have Magnaflow Catback system and an Tru X-Pipe with high flow cats and its loud and easily ticketable on the Shelby. on the Cobra I have a full Bassani system complete with Headers, high flow cats, x-pipe, mullflers and tips. It sounds completely raced out! :D I have to keep it under 2K RPMs to keep it under the noise level when passing cops. When its rev'ed up it can be heard for about 2 blocks lol

Sounds like the UK has it easy. We have a fixed penalty notice system, your average (not speeding too much) speeding offence is £60 ($95), no summons involved unless you wish to dispute. You get 3 points of a maximum of 12 which expire after 3 years. That said, we do have a lot of cameras.

I used to work as a runner where I copped a fair few.

I'm a relatively cautious driver (not like a 75-year old in the fast line cautious), but I rarely go over 10 mph over the speed limit. When those few times I did get noticed, my license plates saved me... Retired Air Force & luckily for me that still garners some respect in our country. Have never had a speeding ticket since day 1. Seatbelt violation ($50-ish) -- yes! But only once.

OOHHH that's a dangerous thing to say !! (I am also a 'Virgin' when it comes to speeding tickts and I do about 1,000 miles a week, so it's only a matter of time)

I did get fined once, back in the early 70's, for parking at night without lights. Cost me £10 ($16) then.

I find this ironic, being most of the manufacturers are actually based in Cali...lol.

I know what you mean. Sometimes when I pull up at a light next to a car that's been "riced out", I'll rev it a few times and give the driver that "this is real American muscle" look.

A guy that lives a street over from me has a 69 GTO (never asked what all he had on it), and I swear I can hear that thing a block away just when he's starting it up.

I can only imagine what the Shelby sounds like when you get it up to a decent speed (around 70-80). That thing probably screams like there's no tomorrow. Definitely a car that would get me in trouble if I had one. Wife refuses to even let me test drive one..lol.

Blimey! How fast can you run?!

I've had city careless driving tickets (25$), no proof of insurance (375$ brought to 50$ when I produced valid insurance), lots of parking tickets (yay philadelphia! 28-375$), and about 4 tickets for speeding (120-295$). I never did factor in the insurance hikes, but they were never really anything major since I rarely got nailed for a moving violation.

However, I always fight my tickets which reduces the level of the fine and lowers the amount of points they add to your license (unless I can win, then it gets thrown out).

I have a couple videos of launches and exhaust revs of both cars that you might like to see/hear then :)
When I get home from work I can get the links from youtube for you.

Mind you, if one of your buddies has joined the cops, he may pull you over for going too slow! j/k


I have never gotten a speeding ticket. Was pulled up once for wrong lane (tried to drive straight on in a lane marked for a right turn as I realized too late I was in the wrong lane), and a couple of times was pulled up for jumping the signal (couldn't stop in time for the red light and so crawled on and parked on the side before the cops started signalling me, kinda handed myself over). For the lane cutting offence I had to shell out Rs. 100/- and do a bit of running about to recover my license. For the other two offences I paid about Rs. 50/- for NOT getting a ticket.

Over here the general procedure if you are caught violating a traffic rule is the cop will take away your license and issue a receipt in lieu of it, which mentions the offence for which the license has been impounded. You then have to pay the fine at the traffic police station which has jurisdiction over the area in which you were caught, and collect your license back. The legal procedure is somewhat different than the general and the common procedures.

The same procedure goes in my state too...
And for the speeding ticket, it would be just 1 or 2 USD (but never had one yet) :D
My maximum is 70 km/hr :blush:. That's what I could achieve in this damn roads..!

The best part about driving in Mumbai is that you can never get a speeding ticket.

I have never gotten a ticket, nor have i been pulled over by a cop. However, i always drive without my seatbelt, but it comes with the job, and the word POLICE on the side of the car i drive in. Win.

That's cheating :)

Just curious, are you 'not allowed' to wear a seat belt, or do you choose not to because you are exempt and by doing so may hamper your job ?

It's an egress issue... having the seatbelt on runs the risk of it getting hung up on something and hampering the ability to get out of the car (emergency or not).

-tg

exactly that. Because of our duty belts too (radio, keys, OC spray, flashlight, cuffs, etc) that likes to get caught on the belt. Also, we are in and out of the car a lot so its just easier not to put it on. When we go long distances on major streets or freeways we put them on for safety.

Tell them to increase the fine and return the license.

The fine is fine. But 30 days suspended license for doing 45 in a 30mph zone, and it's my first traffic violation and no points on my license. That's bogus.

Damn they threw the book at you

I'm appealing the ruling. Let's hope I can keep the license. If nothing else, it will extend the process so at least they don't take it away for the holidays :D

You were 50% above the speed limit! With all sympathy, I think a harsh punishment will help keep you away from speeding so much.

On a different note, do you all think a harsher punishment at the first instance would be a better deterrant than a gradually severe 'punishment ladder' that's typical everywhere? For e.g. a typical scenario might be that for the first offence, you pay x in fines and get y points docked, for each subsequent offence either x or y or both keep increasing and at some point when x or y reach a specific limit the punishment changes into something more severe. Assuming that you stand to lose your licence on the third repeat offence, and assuming that you stand to lose it on the first offence itself, which assumption would lead to a better compliance with the law?

.

In my defense, the place where the radar caught me, even though it's designated as a residential area, no houses are around half a mile back, and only two things you can see are a car shop and a run down restaurant, and plus, I was overtaking a douche that was going 20mph.

In my opinion, punishment "ladder" is better. A small punishment in the beginning will make the driver extra cautious so that he wouldn't repeat it later. :wave:

i would go for a really harsh punishment first, then an equal, or harsher punishment for each additional time. If people are afraid of the punishment, then they wont do it, and there wont be a next time. I think, if any, the DUI consequences should be as extreme as possible. Especially now that i have been driving a lot later at night, I would rather not have to worry about going into an intersection and having a drunk drive t-bone me.

That happened to my friends mom. She broke several vertebrae, was in the hospital for a few months, and in critical condition. She was close to breaking her spinal cord, killing her. She tried to sue the guy for everything he owned, unfortunately, he owned nothing. He lived with his mom, and she was even in debt.

That would be a good approach for a progressive society, where you see the society as a whole trying to learn from its mistakes, drivers genuinely trying to improve themselves, where a ladder provides them a chance to correct past wrongs.

If I were to lose my license for a month if I jumped a signal for the first time, I would try hard as hell to make sure I never jumped any. And if I avoided that first offence, there's no way in hell I would commit it a second time, right?

C'mon, you were 50% above the limit! No matter the circumstances, you shouldn't have been going that fast. Maybe 10% over the limit is probably safe and the cops might not have bothered you then. But you are creating too much of a dilemma for them by going so much above.

I remember reading in the news a few months back about a wheelchair getting stuck to the front of a truck (an 18 wheeler) and the truck driver unknowingly driving away. Imagine if the truck was doing 60mph on a freeway where 60mph is well within the speed limits, will the man in the wheelchair be booked for going above the speed limit? Wheelchairs can't be riding at 60mph on freeways!

It's all about Risk Assessment. I read somewhere some time ago that the parts of the brain that can assess risks are not fully developed in humans until the age of about 24. Perhaps this is one of the reasons that those of a 'younger age' are more prone to go everywhere at a million miles per hour and tend to be repeat offenders. Certainly the Insurance Premiums for this age group reflect the risks. Us oldies have those areas of our brain 'over developed', which is why we go everywhere at 20 miles per hour.

I have a great deal of sympathy for baja_yu; it seems he assessed the physical risks (probably sub-conciously) of overtaking a slower vehicle in the area he was driving in and came to the conclusion it was 'safe' to do so. Unfortunately he didn't include the risk of a Traffic Cop being around.

Of course, in Law there's no defence like; "Look here, sonny, I've been driving since before you were born, it was quite safe for me to overtake. Why don't you get back in your vehicle and catch some proper criminals?" :)

The point is that I wasn't driving 45 mph at all time. I was just doing so while overtaking. If you ask me, completing an overtake in as little time as possible is the safest thing to do. If someone is driving 25mph I'm sure as hell wont take 2 minutes driving 29 to overtake him. I put on the gas, get it done and return to driving at normal speed. Here, by law, you are required to finish overtaking in as little time as possible and you have to be driving at least 10mph faster than the person you are overtaking.

---

while still being reasonably within the speed limit, I assume. That would mean if you have to exceed the speed limit in this situation, you shouldn't be overtaking.

Over here, on 'expressways', I have been frustrated so much by the truckers in each lane playing a game of 'who drives the slowest', that I can sympathize with you, empathize with you. I am even grateful sometimes the cops here don't go for speed radars.

.

By law here you have to be going at least 10mph faster than the person you are overtaking. So if someone is going 21 in a 30mph zone you are, by law, not allowed to overtake them. To me, it's plainly stupid to give someone a ticket for exceeding the limit in a situation like that. If you exceed the limit just for a few seconds while you you are overtaking, I don't see much harm in that.
Writing a ticket, by my standards, is too harsh. A warning would suffice. You can argue that I was 50% over the limit, but it's not that the limit was 80 and I was going 120. It was 15mph over. It just sounds worse when you say 50%. If the limit was 12, 18 would be 50%. The problem here is that the country is neck deep in **** and they do everything to fill the budget. Since the beginning of the year by new law you are required to have the lights on at all time. I was doing that even before it was required. A couple of months back I forgot and got a ticket after a few miles. No warning, $50 ticket. They also came up with a law that you are now required to have a different kind of first aid kit. So the old ones for some reason were not good enough, and you can imagine how much business they made for a few companies selling them (probably owned by some politicians) that the entire country has to buy one, or if you don't have it the ticket is $80. That's where I live.

Of course. I have always noticed that people who are pig-faced drunk are always very good about considering the consequences of their actions. They are all aware that most drunk drivers do so 8-10 times before they get caught, so they are keeping count (they're all good at that, too).

I totally agree with the sentiment. Nothing scares me more. I just don't think the facts are on your side. Education may drive down drunk driving, but penalties will not unless they get MUCH MUCH stiffer than they currently are. Two years of driving interlocks plus a hefty fine (including the price of the interlock) might get the job done....but it might not, too.

How about two years of NO driving? If people have been irresponsible to themselves and other road users by drinking and driving, why not just keep them off the roads??

Over here, at least, the government prints a line behind the driving licence: Driving is a privilege, not a right.

.

I'm sorry DClamp - but I wear a cell phone on my belt, have things in my pocket I need to get to when going through drive-throughs, have kids I need to get in and out of the car. As such, the seat belt hinders me from doing what I need to do as well. If I don't wear it, I get a ticket. If it is the law that you must be wearing a seat belt at all times when driving a car, then police officers should be required to live by that same law. If the law doesn't work for them, then it equally might not work for others. I understand police officers speeding -- when their lights and such are on, but I don't buy that police officers should get to avoid the seat belt law. :)

As to tickets - my wife just got her first ticket. She's been driving for a long time (decades). It was basically for tailgating. Of course, the police officer pulled in front of her on a road and then didn't accelerate, thus she obviously came up on him quickly and had to hit her brakes. The office then went into the oncoming lane so as to let her pass so he could then pull her over (thus he crossed the middle line, which I also believe is not quite legal). It really felt like entrapment (aka slow ticket day).

The ticket was $15. Of course, it cost nearly $200 once they added all the required fees. You also had to go to court to set a court date, thus meaning you had to take time on at least two days if you choose to fight the ticket. Even if you fought the ticket, they stated you'd have to still pay most of the fees. It was all crazy. We paid the ticket even though I think the cop did it on purpose.

This is a prime case of where I think penalties should start easier and be stacked. This was the first time in over 20 years of driving that my wife had ever been pulled over. She should have gotten a warning at most. In fact, the police officer should have gotten a ticket for not yielding to oncoming traffic.....

Of course, my last ticket was for failing to yield while making a turn (this was also 20 years ago). I was turning left in traffic and people waved me to turn left in front of them. In the third lane, a car actually accelerated to hit me. Because I was turning left, it was automatically my fault even though the other car actually caused the accident. I was in a rental car and the people that hit me had already called the rental agency to say they needed to provide a car for them-- they did this before we were even done talking to the police officers. The cop even apologized for writing me the ticket. He told me that there are many cases where people will wave someone to turn left in front of them (cross traffic), and then accelerate to hit the car. Even though they are waving you on, you are still at fault because you crossed into the oncoming lane. Gotta love people..... :)

Brad!

You could call it perks of the job, or abuse of privileges. Here, cops, ambulances, firetrucks aren't allowed to run red lights even in emergency (rotation and sirens on). I've seen cop cars just briefly flash their lights and run through a red light without slowing down even a bit. It was late at night with minimal traffic but still.

I dont know if i mentioned, but I work on a CSU campus. We dont wear our belts when we are on campus because we do get out frequently, and we are always driving less than 10mph, mostly 5mph. As soon as we leave campus to go else where (food, etc) we put it on because of the law and because of the safety issue. But it is a professional courtesy for officers to let other officers slide on things.

Not sure if it is the same as where you are, but in California we have 4 different codes of importance to a call. Code 1 is low level importance, get to it when you can. Code 2 stop what you are doing, and get there fast, obey laws. Then Code 3 which is get there as soon as you possibly can; lights and sirens; expedite backup. finally Code 4 which is no backup required.

In your case, the officer may have been on a code 2 call, and since there was no traffic, decided to run the light to get there quicker. It all comes down to the type of call it is as well. Felony car stop, they want backup there asap. If its someone who's dog ran away, they wont need any help.

Nope, not in the US. There's no such system here, and any emergency service is forbidden to run red lights by law, no exceptions. Although this is almost never enforced. I've seen ambulances go through red lights, although not at full speed but with great caution. I think it's ok, but if you want to go by law, then it's not.

I think that is unacceptable. They should be allowed to run lights depending on the nature of the emergency. The time it take to get from the hospital to the person and back to the hospital could mean life an death. I know here, you have to be allowed by the watch commander to go code 3. So you can't drive with lights and sirens to any call, you have to be granted permission.

I had the pleasure of a long Ambulance ride in the UK. I asked about what the deal was with running red lights and speed cameras etc. It turns out they get fines just like everyone else. One of the chaps spends a day or so each month writing appeals for all the received penalty notices, in each case he must justify exactly why the offence was made and even then there is no guarantee the fine will be dropped.

Cheers guys... I got my first ticket today, for parking my car making inconvenience to others :afrog:

But I don't know what happened ! I parked it in a decent manner allowing two buses to go through the road at the same time (side by side).
Even there are both 4 & 2 - wheelers, parked in both ends (ahead and behind my car). It was at 5pm, a cop put the sticker that says "You are booked":p

In the meantime, we were at a hotel. This hotel doesn't have a parking area. All of the vehicles to this hotel will parked like what I did. But these damn traffic cops are getting nuts. A half kilometer ahead of that place, there's a maintenance going on the road. But at that place, both sides are filled with cars causing much traffic jams !!! These cops doesn't look those sides :mad:

I have to pay a penalty of about 2$ within 15 days :D
