Massachusetts:  $50, if you are caught 1-10mph over speed limit.
                $10/mile for every mile over that.

        It used to be a flat fee of $50.00, as long as you were under
        100mph.  I got one for 90mph on the Turnpike (good $/mile
        ratio!) a few years ago.  Now it would be $400.00.

New Hampshire:  if the speed limit is

                65mph           55mph or less

1-5mph over     $43.20          $43.20
6-10mph         $72.00          $43.20
11-15mph        $86.40          $57.60
16-20mph        $115.20         $72.00
21-25mph        $216.00         $86.40
                 or M/A*
26-30mph        M/A*            $115.20
31+             M/A*            M/A*

*M/A = must appear in court

NOTE:  It has been rumored that if you have Massachusetts plates
        and you go shopping in southern NH on the weekends, you
        are immune to the fines listed above.
