 Your biggest speeding ticket or highest fine
Well, after reading another topic here I decided it was time for everyone to come clean... What's your biggest speeding ticket or traffic fine you have ever had? And what was so durned important that you were speeding/passing/squealing tires?
Mine:
Racing (no speed, just speed contest) in 1995
96 in a 55 in 1992, late for work
The real question, is why was I in a hurry to get to work... when anymore I try to be as late as possible?

52 in a 35 just after I got my license. I bought a stealth radar detector after that and haven't had one since.

83mph in a 55mph zone. On my old CBR600 sports bike.
It was an old windy road out in the country.

35 in a 25.........SCHOOL ZONE! Big whammy $200 and some serious "please don't kill me, I am just a kid" and then I wet myself. The cop just told me to relax and take some Prozac it's just a ticket.

On the bike. 118km/h in 100 zone. Cop got me on a corner. 
I may have gone past a speed camera at 180km/h plus but never got a ticket for it. They're probably still after me.
To prove something, one must first try to disprove it.

Fastest speeding--115 in a 55 fine = $5.00 In Montana a few years back.
Slowest speeding--57 in a 55 (I'm not joking) fine = $65.00
Twice got speeding tickets for 22 ($295) & 15 ($175) over when I was in fact going under the limit (guess I just looked like someone who could afford it).

Hehehe! Sucks that Montana repealed the "reasonable & prudent" speed limit, doesn't it?
They did, didn't they? I know I read that there were going to do it...

Now see..that's BS!!!
That cop was definitely looking to make some points. This here is a real reason to complain!!!

at least the uk cops allow you 10% plus 2mph... so, 55mph would be 55+7.5 =62.5mph before you get a ticket and 3 points. 12 points = disqualified from driving for 1 year or more.

About 8 years ago I got my first (and last) DUI. So instead of going to jail, or AA classes, or whatever, I got a lawyer. The lawyer got it reduced to a "wet reckless". I paid the lawyer $2500.00, and a $1200.00 fine, and had my license suspended for 4 months. So I pretty much learned my lesson, but most of all, I'm just glad I didn't hurt anybody while I was, "learning my lesson." So anyway, that was my highest fine.
My biggest speeding ticket was when I was coming back home from L.A. with a friend. I was driving around 110 mph on highway 156, in my 1.6L Geo Storm 2dr Coupe (disposable car,... now I've got me a cool Dodge Dakota truck.) Anyway, the cop pulled me over and only wrote me down for doing 97mph. I had to pay a couple hundred dollar fine and that was it. Other than that, I just have an accumulation of minor speeding tickets and misdemeanors (driving through stop signs, etc.)
