The sentence is fine, but a fine isn't. Emotion: sad

You probably meant 'ticket'.

I got a ticket for speeding.

Point taken. Actually, I never said 'fine' was wrong. It's just that a 'ticket' seems more common to me in the context of speeding. I guess I subconsciously assumed that it was the right word for the sentence.
