$1,000 fine for speeding 50 mph over limit FL

Eh, that's really not that bad. Highway speed limits are 70mph, so you'd have to be doing 120mph to get slapped with that, and if you're dumb enough to sustain 120mph+ speeds for a long time, you deserve it anyway
Screw $1K, make it $10K. People who are driving that fast usually can afford it. Make it so they don't even think about it.

1UZFE SWAP DUDE!!!
OWWW...... My 110 in a 55 was pretty bad too. $550 later for the fine and $1200 to get the car out of impound after a 30 day.
Good. Though, if your going to be a fucking dumbass and endanger the lives of my family for your own gratification, $1000 fine isn't enough.

I didn't endanger anyone's life other than my own thank you. It was an empty stretch of I5 at 3am and that was the ONLY reason why i was driving that fast.
Glad we don't have this in MO. I personally love standin' on it when I have a few miles of open stretch.
Speeding has always been a gamble....
They bet you they can catch/fine you, you bet they can't.
The stake has changed a little nothing more.
If they rqaised the stakes to where they would shoot you in the head if 50 over people would still chance it thinking they can beat the house.

The law applies to low speed limit areas as well not just the highway.
I live in a rural but residential zone and I have had plenty of turds doing what seems like 50mph + in a 30 mph zone. Now that really pisses me off.
It's like the rediculous laws where they take your car and crush it.
Just means more people will run and more lives will be endangered, nothing more.

Don't think I was pointing at YOU personally. I understand there are extenuating circumstances.
I speed plenty on open/unoccupied roads. (read: Utah stretch of I-70 and I-15)
On trip to Vegas cruise was set at 100mph.
Speeding 50 over is just ridiculous though. $1000 dollar fine doesn't seem too high to me. :dunno:

exactly, this will only encourage running....very dangerous law.
did anybody catch the fine of 1000 dollars for not having the license plate mounted horizontally! crazy and very unfair, should be rewitten to say concealing your plate
also they made 80000 in an hour and a half the first day!
HAHAHA in some states they charge more than that for 10 to 20 over, like virginia and a few others. 1K for 50 over isn't that bad, lol kinda a pathetic fine really, doesn't get the job done at all, 1k isn't much for a car owner capable of doing over 50 mph over the posted limit.
