I got a speeding ticket a few weeks ago - $181. I was doing 80 mph in a 65. Ouch - money I much rather would have spent on something else. It was my first speeding ticket in over ten years. I got a bunch when I was 19-20, I had a fast car and a heavy foot.

Don't feel too badly, no one got hurt and it was a learning experience. Tickets are a part of the whole driving experience.
