Here are a few statistics on
speeding tickets:
- One of the most common speed traps are areas in which there is a significant speed limit reduction.
- Law enforcement will often place themselves just past highway exists, where speed limits typically drop quickly, in order to catch those who have not decelerated in time to account for the new speed limit.
- In most states, the most tickets issued in any month tends to be within the last 7 days of the month.
- July and August tend to be the month in which the most speeding tickets are issued, while January and February tend to be the months in which the fewest tickets are issued.
- In Missouri, the 27,199 tickets for drivers who were moving 20 mph or more over the speed limit in 2016 was up from 21,830 in 2015. And the year before that, there were only 17,415 tickets cited for that range of speeding infractions.
- Regardless of season, during national holidays you tend to see a spike in the issuance of speeding citations. This increase in speeding stops tends to result from a greater number of officers patrolling holidays in order to prevent intoxicated driving and the number of motorists on the road increases during these times.
- Statistically speaking, you are most likely to receive a speeding ticket during the warmer months.
- The average cost of a speeding ticket (in 2016) across the US is $150.00, not including legal fees.
- Approximately 41 million people get traffic tickets in the US in a year, resulting in over $6 billion paid out for those tickets.
Always remember if you are being
pulled over to do so safely and respectfully.
