With the surcharges and penalty assessments a $70 ticket becomes a $275 ticket . . . even if you plead guilty and pay without going to court.
Least it's itemised. Around here (Victoria, Australia) if you're only 4km/hr (2.5m/hr) over the limit you get fined around $USD150. No breakdown of what it's for, or where it goes.
