Yes, I got a ticket. 115 in a 60.
$300. Paid it online today. I think the pictures alone were worth the cost of the ticket.
And I learned something interesting..... $300 is the maximum speeding fine in TX. I could have been going 170 mph and the fine would have been the same. And one of the officers told me they don't take you to jail for speeding alone, even for 170 mph. Now, if you were racing someone, or something else besides just speeding, or if your attitude stinks, they'll find a reason to take you in.

In GA, 20 MPH over will get a "Super Speeder" fine tacked on top of the normal fine. My 24 year old son got a ticket on the interstate doing 75 in a 55...the total ticket along with the Speeder fine was $425 
People in ATL drive over 20 MPH just as a matter of course (and survival), but you get outside Metro ATL and do 20 over you better have your check book ready.
Also, any ticket over 85 Mph is subject to the Super Speeder law....so if you're in a 70 MPH Zone on the Interstate, doing 15 over at 85 you will get a ticket around $375......Welcome to GA Y'all.

It goes one of two ways, before rush hour if you are doing below 70 on the beltway (55 sl) then you will get ran over. At rush hour... well imagine a winston cup race going about as fast as a power wheels vette and there you go.

Now it would never be a 300$ ticket, thats where it hurts.
I recently went to ohio and couldn't believe everyone drove like 65 in an 70! i was scared to even drive the speed limit.
