Final answer:

Speeding violation fines include a flat fee for the initial ten miles per hour over the speed limit, with additional fees for each mile per hour beyond that, although the question does not specify the amount for the additional fees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The calculation of speeding violation fines depends on how much over the speed limit a driver is traveling. The question indicates that there is a flat fee for the initial violation, $100 for the first ten miles per hour over the limit, and implies there is an additional charge for each mile per hour beyond those first ten.

The exact amount for each additional mile per hour is not provided in the question, which suggests that this value is the missing piece of information that needs an answer or clarification. The scenarios provided indicate that fines, enforcement practices, and the relationship between driving behavior and speed limits can vary and that there are nuances to how speeding is monitored and penalized, such as the difference between de jure and de facto speed limits.
