This is creative. There is an extra charge on the speeding ticket in Atlanta, Georgia:
“HOLLY SPRINGS, Ga. — The surging price of gasoline has come to this: a “fuel surcharge” on your next speeding ticket.
Drivers caught speeding in this north Atlanta suburb soon will have to pay an extra $12 — to cover $4-a-gallon gas costs for the police officers who stop them.”

Along the same lines, wouldn’t it be wise to add a ‘health surcharge’? If the police incident raised the officers’ blood pressure, then shouldn’t the offending motorist be penalized and made to contribute to a health plan? If one thinks about it, there are a myriad of other ’surcharges’ that could be added to the speeding ticket.
