$156 ticket (non-construction zone, non-school zone), in that case, in TX anyway. Plus $5 for each additional miles per hour over the posted limit. Add in the cost to get a single "minor" speeding ticket dropped from one's insurance in TX (if your record's clean) by taking driver's (re-)education, and it's even more expensive.
Yes, I know from experience. I got pegged at 43 miles per hour in a 30 MPH in front of a police substation last summer... in my '92 Corolla. The cops usually tailgate you if you're going 40 miles per hour, but that's a moot point when there's an officer outside your window with your I.D. in hand.
