The cost of the speeding ticket is nothing compared to what the insurance companies whack you with after the ticket. You're lucky . . . in MA they don't let you go to traffic school on-line or otherwise. You get points for every ticket you receive and your insurance costs go up.
I'd speed like a madman if I wouldn't get whacked by the insurance company.
No kidding. I bet drivers are very patient there, unlike SoCal.
