How much of a fine do you get when hitting a highway guard rail?

I was involved in an accident in which i spun out of control and hit the side of a guard rail. The damage was very slight but i was charged 700 dollars for the damages. I'm wondering if there was a fixed amount for hitting a guard rail. This happened in new jersey on the garden state parkway.

most states will charge you the cost of the fine plus any fees associated with replacing the damaged item; also any labor or other expenses that they deem you to be liable for


700 is EASY..........i've seen worse.
Reply:The FINE is little more than a speeding ticket. The REAL expense is repairing the guardrail. I once had an officer flat out admit the ONLY reason I was given a ticket was because the city could not bill my insurance without the citation. Report Abuse

Reply:thequestion you should be asking yourself is why was I speeding? Most accidents on interstates are speed related so I suggest that you slow down. as for the guard rail I have seen the same sections replaced time and time again, so wise up and slow your *** down, youre lucky you didnt kill someone or yourself
