Speeding tickets in Maryland to see steep rise starting in October

Are you ready to pay a $425 speeding fine? You could be in Maryland, depending on how fast you are going.

Starting Oct. 1, automated cameras across the state will begin mailing out tiered tickets based on how much over the speed limit you’re driving. The new tier structure was passed by the Maryland General Assembly and signed by Gov. Wes Moore in May.

It starts at 12 to 15 miles per hour over the speed limit with a $40 fine.

For those 16 to 19 miles per hour over the limit, the fine rises to $70.

A $120 fine is for speeders going 20 to 29 miles per hour over the speed limit.

Those going 30 to 39 miles per hour will get a $230 fine and the stiffest fines of $425 are for speeding over 40 mph.
