How much over the speed limit before you are fined Vic?
Speeding fines
You can be fined: 10 penalty units for driving less than 35 km/hour over the speed limit. 15 penalty units for driving at 35 km/hour or more but less than 45 km/hour over the speed limit. 20 penalty units for driving 45 km/hour or more over the speed limit.
If you believe there is a valid reason why you should not have to pay the fine, you may be able to request a review. Under the law, reviews can only be submitted under certain grounds. If you are eligible, your review may take some time to process, and you will receive a response by post.
Infringement | Penalty amount |
---|---|
Less than 11km/h over the speed limit | $287 |
At least 11km/h but not more than 20km/h over the speed limit | $431 |
More than 20km/h but not more than 30km/h over the speed limit | $646 |
More than 30km/h but not more than 40km/h over the speed limit | $1,078 |
To check if you've any penalty points, please email NDLS at info@ndls.ie to request a Driver Statement and make sure to include your full name, driver number, PPSN and date of birth. Alternatively, you can telephone 0818 700 800.
The 10% rule
On paper, as soon as you go over the speed limit, you're committing a driving offence. In reality, however, there can be some leeway. That's because the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) urges police officers to use their discretion when dealing with drivers who break the speed limit.
Most police forces have a tolerance of 10% plus 2 mph above the limit before a speed camera 'flashes'. So on a 30 mph road, a camera wouldn't normally activate unless a car drove past at 35 mph or faster. On a 70 mph stretch of motorway, the threshold would go up to 79 mph.
When a policeman states that he thinks you were speeding this is merely his opinion that you were speeding. In order to be convicted a police officer must also provide evidence which corroborates his opinion that you were speeding.
An agreement will be reached regarding how the fine will be paid, and in some instances, the registrar can negotiate a smaller fine or get rid of the fine altogether. If the outcome isn't good for you, you can have it reviewed. If you want to fight a fine, you can help your outcomes by contacting Vanessa Ash.
You can apply for a review by writing to the agency that gave you the fine. The agency's contact details are on the fine. You will need to explain why you think the fine should be reviewed. You will also need to provide your current residential address.
The largest speeding fine is a reported $290,000 (£180,000) ticket given to an anonymous Swiss motorist who was caught driving 137 km/h (85 mph) in a 80 km/h (50 mph) zone in a village near St. Gallen, Switzerland, in January 2010.
What is the fastest speeding ticket in the world?
For those of you stressing out about your speeding ticket, it could be worse. The fastest known speeding ticket was issued in May 2003 in Texas. The driver was operating a Koenigseggs CCR, a super sports car made in Sweden, and was allegedly going 242 mph (389 km/hr) in a 75 mph zone.
NSW Police can issue a licence suspension at the roadside if you are caught speeding by more than 45km/h over the speed limit. Police also have the right to impound your vehicle or confiscate your vehicle's number plates. These offences carry demerit points that will be added to your record.

The 'rule' itself is quite straightforward: if the speed limit is (for example) 30mph, the rule states that you won't get a speeding ticket unless you are going 10% plus 2 mph faster than the limit.
Speed limits are set for a reason and exceeding them is illegal. The minimum penalty for speeding is £100 fine and three points added to your licence.
16 - 25 m.p.h. over the speed limit: $64.50 fine and 4 points added. 1 - 15 m.p.h. over the speed limit in a school zone: $54.50 fine and 4 points added.
You will be issued with an excessive speeding fine if you are caught driving 25km or more above the speed limit, or driving at more than 130km if the speed limit is 110km. If you do not act within 28 days of the notice issue date, your driver licence will be suspended, or in some cases it will be cancelled.
