where can i find a chart showing speed limit and fines for every state?

Dear DJ Ingenuity, 

Thank you for your interesting question. A series of charts compiling
not only speed limits but also a comparison between new and old
limitations is available here
http://www.ibiblio.org/rdu/sl-attud/chart-org.html and
http://www.ibiblio.org/rdu/sl-attud/chart.html ; This might be a more
readable chart: http://www.publicpurpose.com/ic-speed.htm ; Also here
http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/people/injury/enforce/stspdlaw98/tabspd2.htm
and here http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/people/injury/enforce/stspdlaw98/summary.htm

You can also click on a specific state to get a better explanation of
the situation there. The Reasonable Drivers Unanimous
http://www.ibiblio.org/rdu/
provides more information that might be of interest for you.
