In the New York State speeding fine system, what is the range of fines for driving 1 to 10 mph over the speed limit?

• $90 to $300

• $45 to $150

• $100 to $200

• $180 to $600

Why do some drivers feel the New York speeding fine system is unfair?

• It is not transparent.

• It is inconsistent.

• It is too lenient.

• It is too strict.

What is the flat fine for driving 1 to 10 mph over the speed limit in Massachusetts?

• $200

• $150

• $100

• $50

When plotting data points for Massachusetts speeding fines, what is the x-coordinate for 5 mph over the speed limit?

• 5

• 10

• 15

• 20

What is the fine for driving 15 mph over the speed limit in Massachusetts?

• $300

• $250

• $200

• $150

What is the equation for calculating fines when driving 1 to 10 mph over the speed limit in Massachusetts?

• F = 50

• F = 200

• F = 150

• F = 100

How do you calculate the fine for driving more than 10 mph over the speed limit in Massachusetts?

• F = 100 + 10(m - 10)

• F = 100 + 5(m - 10)

• F = 200 + 10(m - 10)

• F = 150 + 10(m - 10)
