7/1/10-A new law increases speeding tickets at all levels. Higher fines will also be put on nearly all moving and non-moving violations. It took effect July 1.
Previously SF2378, the new law requires offenders to pay anywhere from $10 to $100 more for their indiscretions. The average increase is about $42. Driving 11 to 20 mph over the posted limit where the speed is slower than 55 mph would result in an extra $50 fine. The most common violation, which is speeding 6 to 10 mph in a 55 mph zone, would cost offenders another $27.
