Americans pay more than $6 billion annually in speeding tickets, enough money to buy eight major league baseball teams. At CARSTAR John Hine Collision Mission Valley, we try to avoid getting tickets in San Diego, CA all the time, but every once in a while we might get caught for something minor--it happens!
