traffic fines

Speeding ticket costs

Traffic fines are monetary penalties imposed for violating road and vehicle laws—speeding, running red lights, illegal parking, expired registration.

The fines vary by jurisdiction and severity; some violations add points to a driver's license.

I spent half my paycheck on traffic fines last month.

Unpaid traffic fines can result in license suspension or additional penalties.
