I do more driving than the average human each day, about 4 hours of driving to be exact. It never fails, at least twice a day I see some jerk speeding faster than light down the expressway. I always chuckle to myself when I finally catch up to where super-fast-driver has been pulled over a few miles down the road. Serves you right dangerous driver!

The cost of the average speeding ticket is about $120. But depending on where you live, the 'true cost' of that ticket will be different than others.
