The cost of your speeding ticket usually depends upon where you were speeding, and how many miles per hour over the speed limit you were driving. Virginia Code 46.2-870 and subsequent statute sections provide information about the maximum speed limits in the state. The following are typical costs associated with Virginia speeding fines: Speeding in general in a passenger vehicle: $6 for every mile per hour over the maximum speed limit; Speeding in a School Zone: $7 for every mile per hour over the speed limit; Speeding in a Work Zone: $7 for every mile per hour over the speed limit; and Speeding in a certain Residential Zone: $200 plus an additional $8 for every mile per hour over the speed limit.
