The Speeding Ticket:
The city of Cautionville has decided to utilize a new formula for calculating the fine for speeding within their city limits. Speeding violations will be categorized in two ways:
1. Regular speeding violations and
2. Reckless driving speeding violations.
To calculate the charge for each regular speeding violation, the city is enforcing a fee of $60 for each speeding ticket issued. In addition, there will be a charge of $8 for every mile per hour driven that exceeds the city-wide speed limit. The maximum charge for a regular speeding ticket is $300. Anything beyond the $300 amount is considered to be in the reckless driving category and enforces larger penalties and a mandatory court appearance for further potential consequences.
The city-wide speed limit is 30 miles per hour.
