Yes, you are reading that correctly.
But I’m not just referring to the speeds. I am also talking about the fines.
In New Mexico, the fine for driving 79 MPH over the speed limit is a relatively meager $257. And had that third motorcyclist been caught, his fine for driving 106 over would have been the same.
Unlike many other states, New Mexico won’t arrest you or impound your vehicle for speeding, and the fine for 36-over is the same as for 136-over.

They got off so easy! I just paid $274 for 15 over in Mendocino County.
$257 for 144mph lol in Australia thats A$2500
Wtf I got a 255 ticket for going 69 in a 45
Are speeding tickets really so low at the states? In here those are fixed to the income and speeding tickets exceeding 10 million euros aren't unheard of (speeder was a billionaire).
That sounds like a fun time right there.
Omg if you get caught here in Canada doing 50km over the limit you lose your license, they take your child, and maybe a kidney if I'm not mistaken lol
Only $257 for reckless driving?!? In my state (WA) you'd be arrested and thrown in jail for going that fast
In Hawaii it’s like 100$ for every 10mph you are over so 30 over 300$ but anything over 30 you are likely going to jail and having your license suspended
Speeding on special……never been cheaper …….ever…The dispatcher appears to have a lot of fun with this….
Boy if they had wrecked that would have left a mark
Here in CA I got a $585 ticket for going 50 in a 25 zone. Their fines are unreal.
I can’t believe how cheap the fines are in nm
I know a guy Who rides a Ducati, and on (Highway 26) he says he can get up to 243 miles an hour…!!!
I'm living in the wrong state.
New York state you are talking about a fine in excess of $1000.
The fine was only $257? Gerogia has a super speeder law…. you have to pay all fines and fees in the jursidiction than the State Of Georgia mails you a $200 addition fine for the super speeder.The last ticket I had about 10 years ago…I had to pay $250 for doing 10 over.

144MPH @$257? putting someone in a Coma is $1 million for 1 month how about this $7,000 Fine and suspended license 4 years with a limited license for 6 years plus 9 years probation…. you do it again BAN DRIVERS LICENSE LIFE………..
