THAT’S A WHOPPER ($70,000 – $80,000)

A Savannah, Georgia resident was shocked to receive a speeding ticket for a whopping $1.4 million dollars!

Connor Cato received the citation in September 2023 after being clocked driving at a brisk 145 km/h in an 89 km/h zone. Convinced it must have been a typo, Cato called the courthouse but was informed he must either pay the fine or appear for his December court date.

Apparently, Savannah has a policy that requires any driver caught exceeding the speed limit by more than 50 km/h to make a court appearance. At this appearance, a judge will decide the actual penalty. The astronomical ticket Cato received in the mail was, in fact, simply a "placeholder" automatically generated by the e-citation software. In fact, the fine cannot surpass $1,00.00.
