Show Demerits And 55 Speeding There is some concern for drivers being assessed demerits for violation of the new 55-mile-per-hour speed limit since its purpose is fuel conservation and not necessarily neces-sarily safety. UTAH IS issuing fewer' tickets than most other western west-ern states. In some states, license revocation for demerits is not at stake. Nevada and Montana have had $5 fines for violation of the 55 m.p.h. speed limit but have been under pressure to change the system. Utah's fine is $5 for violation viola-tion plus $1 for each mile an hour over the limit. After receiving four tickets, your drivers license is reviewed. ACCORDING to the Salt Lake Valley Traffic Advisory Council, Utah is issuing 77 citations ci-tations per 1,000 licensed drivers for violation of the speed limit while Montana is issuing 108 for each 1,000; Colorado 97, Wyoming 96 and South Dakota 37. la |
