Is a speeding ticket really a big deal? Yes, it can be! Even though people speed every day, the law in Florida does not treat it as a minor issue. Florida Highway Patrol and local police are serious about catching speeders. A speeding ticket can impact your driving record and result in serious consequences. 

Why fight a speeding ticket?

Don’t make the mistake of simply paying your speeding ticket. Failing to fight it results in a conviction on your driving record with serious long-term consequences:

• Fines
  •  Speeding tickets can cost you hundreds of dollars or more when you don’t fight it.

Speed Over the Limit	Statutory Base Fine (FL Law)	Estimated Total Civil Penalty (Varies by County)
