Truck owner and driver charged with $37,555 traffic ticket
Traffic tickets always burn a hole in the pocket. Ever thought of what the highest fine on a traffic ticket could be? As reported by Yahoo! news, a Lehigh Valley, PA Police Officer said the highest fine he’s ever seen on a traffic ticket was $37,554.54!
This heavy ticket was impounded on the truck driver and owner for not getting a “super load” permit. The truck was hauling a 213,000-pound steel cylinder and sat idle for almost three weeks after it tipped over on March 12, 2009 because a new route, proper permits and a police escort took a while to organize. I really pity the owner.
