Question about the ticket I just got

[ryl515 10+ year member]

Last night I was pulled over for doing 77 in a 60, and I also wasnt wearing my seat belt. So the cop writes it all out, gives me the ticket and says I can pay a waiver within 7 days blah blah any questions call the number on the back. So he goes back to his car and I leave. When I get to my buddies house I look at the ticket and its kinda like this. It has a box checked for "Speed 77 in 60" and $333.03 written next to it. The next two boxes had to do with alcohol and a drivers license violation (suspended, not on person, etc.) so those are blank. The next box checked is for "Safety Belt - Failure to wear - Driver" and has $337.27 written next to it. My question here is when I send the money in, how much exactly am I paying? Is it $337.27 because thats the higher number, so its like both of the fines together? Or am I paying $670.30, since thats what the two add up to? Either way, those fines seem outrageous. I called that number so I could check and of course its a machine, but it did give information on how much a fine is for certain traffic offenses. From what the machine said, I should be paying $160 for the speeding and $86 for the seatbelt. I really have no idea whats going on, so hopefully someone can shed some light on this for me.

I dont really wanna go through all of that. I just wanna pay it and be done, but I don't know how much I'm supposed to be paying because every number seems like its extremely high.

He's half satan lol.

The 86 for seatbelt seems right, my friend had to pay like $60 here. I'm not sure on speeding, only time I speed is with a cops son in my car and in his area, if he pulls me over he just punches me and says slow the **** down.

One thousand and 68 bucks for speeding? You must be using that in a sarcastic manner, that's way overdone if you're right. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif More like completely insane.

Was in in an active work zone? Fines are almost always doubled in those areas. And also you were cited at more than 15mph over the posted limit which is considered wreckless driving, which makes the fine higher.

Edit: Actually if you were cited for wreckless you wouldn't be able to pay it out, you would have been given a court date.
