Over 100mph?  In Taxachusetts, the ticket would equal this formula:

First 10 mph over = $50 fine.
EACH mile over after that = $1/per mile.

100mph in a 55 mph zone = $400 ticket.

I think that after 20 mph over it becomes "reckless driving" and you can
be arrested.  Of course, if you have a 100+ mph speeding ticket, the insurance
people JUST LOVE YOU!  You will keep their expense accounts flowing....heheh.
