Texas Speeding Ticket Dismissal

Cost of Speeding in Texas

Speeding is the act of exceeding the posted speed limit or driving too fast for existing conditions. The posted speed limit is intended for driving in perfect conditions: daytime, clear weather, light traffic, and no construction. Tickets can be issued for driving 1 mile per hour, MPH, over the speed limit in Texas. Some states offer a 5-10 mph over the limit buffer to drivers exceeding the speed limit but Texas does not.

Over 100,000 people a day receive a speeding ticket in this country. That's over 41 million speeding tickets per year. The average speeding ticket costs $150.00. $150.00 multiplied by 41 million is over 6 billion dollars per year in speeding ticket fines alone. If a person is issued a speeding ticket in a school zone or construction zone - while workers are present, then the fine for that ticket is doubled.
People most likely to Receive Speeding Tickets

• People between 17 and 24 years of age
• More men than women receive speeding tickets

The average raise in insurance costs for one speeding ticket over the course of 3 years is $900.00. Multiply $900 by 41,000,000 tickets and you get almost 37 billion dollars.
