I actually got a speeding ticket about three months ago for going 80 in a 55 zone. My fine was $160. A $445 fine is insane.

I know it is going to vary from state to state but I'd say a speeding ticket in the $160.00 range is generally about right. Sometimes I've seen the speeds so excessive that the person is actually cited for reckless driving or some such similar offense and in that case the fines and costs are substantially higher than in the case of a standard speeding ticket.

In my state if the speeding is 15 mph and over the posted speed limit the offense becomes a class C misdemeanor punishable by a fine not exceeding $500, a jail sentence not exceeding 30 days, or both. Here's a link and some states do penalize so called super speeders much harder. LINK
