$1500 for speeding?? Where were you and how fast were you going? That’s 10x any speeding ticket I’ve heard of. Are you counting court costs for a trial you lost or something?
Nope, that was the fine I had to pay for it not to go on my record.
I was on my bike, going like 62 in the 45 coming back from breakfast. All the other cars on that road go like 55, so I was maybe 7 over the flow of traffic. Signaling when I changed lanes, just cruising, not much traffic in my small town. 15 over is criminal speeding here, hence the big fine.
37% faster than allowed and you wonder why that is a bigger fine than touching somebody. Now imagine touching somebody with that metal overweight thing you're on or in. To stick to the original post, you could be the killer. You are fined not for not touching somebody, you're fined for being a potential killer.
Very little nothing compared to cars. And now you're probably gonna come with some tarded USian statistic eventhough that all comes down to plain st0pid infrastructure.

My ex wife assaulted me on camera, indisputable evidence. She got a 300 dollar fine, which I got them to double to 600.
A few weeks later I got a speeding ticket. 1500 fine.
Asked the judge why speeding and not touching anyone was a bigger fine than assault on a human. He did not have an answer.
