Houston Drivers Face the Highest Speeding Fines in Texas
The very last thing anyone in Texas wants to do is get a speeding ticket today, or any day for that matter. But we all know that people in Texas tend to drive quickly.
Especially if you’re in the left lane on the highway, speed up or get the heck out of the way.
But there are also law enforcement officers trying to keep the roads safe. It’s common to see officers handing out speeding tickets.
But what is the average cost if you get caught going above the speed limit in Texas?
That is a difficult question because the cost of a speeding ticket can be determined by multiple factors. Of course, you’re going to pay more the more you’re speeding.
If you’re going 20+ mph over the limit just know that could also result in a reckless driving charge.
Other factors that could raise the cost of your citation could be where you were speeding, was it in a school zone?
Also, your driving record, if you have a bunch of speeding tickets, you’re less likely to get off with just a warning.

Speeding is not worth it, it will cost you money and is not safe for you, your passengers, or others on the road.
