A speeding ticket will cost you the most in these U.S. states

Car aficionados are not a monolithic group by any means. Some of us are into domestic muscle cars, while others prefer pricey European sports cars. Still others are enamored with the comfort of smooth-riding luxury sedans make the highway miles go down like butter. There are car guys, truck gals, and everything between. But in spite of this wide range of variation, there is a common denominator that many of us share: driving at least a little faster than we should. As we all know, it’s a trait that can sometimes take a bite out of the wallet through a speeding ticket, among other unpleasant repercussions.

What many might not realize, however, is how wide the variation is among U.S. states in just how much a speeding ticket can cost you.

Recently, GOBankingRates, a company that focuses on connecting consumers with information about competitive interest rates and other financial information, conducted a study that looked into the extent of variation in speeding ticket cost from state to state. And you might be surprised at just how wide that variation is.

Researchers compared the maximum fines in each of the 50 U.S. states of a first-offense parking ticket for going 13 miles per hour over the speed limit. Nevada ranked highest in speeding ticket cost, with a fine that can run up to a staggering $1,000 for exceeding the posted speed by 13 miles per hour. At the bottom of the list was Oklahoma, where the same offense could cost you a mere 20 bucks.

Here’s the Top 10 List of states that, according to GOBankingRates, will cost you the most for speeding tickets.

The full list of ticket costs by state for the 13-mph violation is published in the report from GOBankingRates on their study.
