Yes. Really. That’s probably all he wrote her up for.
Various counties can add extra percentages, but her minimum ticket, statewide, would be $555.50.
Don’t ever speed in a school zone here in Florida!
EVER.

The following is a cut and paste of the first paragraph:
School Zone Speed Limits
Take a guess at the biggest fine you can get for speeding. Think it’s $200 or $300, not even close. Fines are doubled for speeding in a construction or school zone. Get caught speeding more than 30 mph over the speed limit in a school or construction zone and the fine is $555.50.
Fines double in school zones here in Socialist Hell of Illinois, however it doubles/triples in Construction Zones.
IIRC, one can be doing up to 21mph over the posted speed limit and still "qualify" for drivers re-education without it hitting your license. More than 21mph over the posted speed limit and it's a hefty ticket, drivers re-education and it goes on your license.
I recently got my first ticket since 1996 here in Illinois and opted to pay the fine, go to drivers re-education to keep it off my license so I'm familiar with how it works here in Illinois now.
