>Still not bad. I found out that in most cases the judge lowers the fine a lot. One guy in front of me who was caught doing 30 over the limit ($275 + 5 points in MD) ended up with $120 and 1 point. Not bad.
Mine was for 47 over the limit, but it was in Florida. Just the fine and a stern lecture from the judge.
