Florida Precision Fines Hit Speeders Oct 1
Florida raises speeding penalties effective Oct 1, with fines rising from 25 to 50 dollars for 66 to 79 mph and to 75 dollars for over 80 mph. The new law, tied to the energy program, also requires court appearance for speeding 25 mph over the limit. Area deputies praise STEP, while Venice lacks 55 mph zones and Sarasota County notes revenue shares from fines.
