Determining The Fine

Numerous factors will determine the speeding ticket fine. The cost of a speeding ticket in Kentucky depends on how fast over the speed limit a driver was going. For example, if someone drives 25 mph over the speed limit in a 55-mph zone, they will be fined $198. If someone drives 25 mph over the limit in a 45-mph zone, the fine is lowered to $193. However, these fines increase if the ticket is issued in a work zone.
