Just went to the shop and drived 73 km/h, where could drived only 50. Before it was possible 60 (thanks EU for a new law here). And this cock wrote me $20 for it and didn't want to take money without paper and i should say it's fucking a lot for such speed and nothing to do with that.

How much you guys pay in the city if you drive "too fast"?

$20 for getting caught speeding is nothing.. eastern europe is hella cheap...

its over a ?100 euro and 2-4 penalty points on ur license here.. u get 12 in three years and ur banned for a year.

?10 per kilometer here...50 km/h over the speed limit is losing your license and going to court to get your ass kicked by a judge with a hella-big fine.

I never speed, my car doesn't go that fast.

I don't drive but when I did I got A LOT of tickets and was never so lucky as to only get a $20 ticket. Usual fines for me were around $150 usually drove anywhere from 15 to 20 over everywhere I went. I even used a radar detector. :lol: Feel lucky, if you were speeding in mexico they take your car and your humility.

Are you guys sittin? tight?

Check these out. These are the penalties in my country :

up to 20km/h above speed limit : 60-300 Euros between 20 to 40 km/h : 120-600 Euros from 40 to 60 km/h : 300-1.500 Euros above 60 km/h : 500-2.500 Euros

These were introduce about 4 months ago, they say they?re supposed to help fight our accident ratio, which is the highest in all of Europe... :(

the penalty of speeding is death. not only the death of the driver but others can be involved as well. :!: This is common in all countries.

Re: what are the penalties for high speed?

2 points on your license and a 100 euro fine. if you are going double the speed limit then its 4 points on your license.

12 points in 2 years and you loose your license.

In the States, I think it's $5/mph plus a base fee & anything else the cops feel like writing you up for (seatbelt, load music, cell phone, whatever). It's usually not very cheap.

They cut your nuts off with a rusty butter knife. Needless to say I always drive 20 mph under the speed limit.

Re: what are the penalties for high speed?

i never really go over 80mph , and thats only when the roads wide open

i was a passenger when my friend got nailed hitting 100...... dont even want to know, but the cop said something along the lines of ""we are supposed to call the helicopter in once you hit 100.""

it`s almost the same here, plus 60 km/h over the speed limit is losing your license and going to exam once again to get them back.
