Will I Get Points and Fines for Speeding Between 10% and 20%?
1 Answers
Speeding between 10% and 20% results in 3 penalty points and a fine, with the fine amount varying depending on the circumstances. Below is an introduction to the penalty standards for speeding and situations where speeding does not incur points or fines. Penalty Standards for Speeding: Driving medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicles, school buses, or hazardous material transport vehicles on highways or urban expressways at speeds exceeding 20% above the posted limit, or driving other motor vehicles at speeds exceeding 50% above the posted limit on roads other than highways or urban expressways, will result in 12 penalty points. Driving medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicles, school buses, or hazardous material transport vehicles on highways or urban expressways at speeds exceeding but less than 20% above the posted limit will result in 6 penalty points. Driving medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicles, school buses, or hazardous material transport vehicles on roads other than highways or urban expressways, or driving other motor vehicles at speeds exceeding 20% but less than 50% above the posted limit, will result in 6 penalty points. Driving medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicles or hazardous material transport vehicles on roads other than highways or urban expressways, or driving other motor vehicles at speeds exceeding but less than 20% above the posted limit, will result in 3 penalty points. Driving a motor vehicle on a highway below the posted minimum speed limit will result in 3 penalty points. Situations Where Speeding Does Not Incur Points or Fines: On roads with speed limits below 60 km/h, speeding less than 50% above the limit. For ordinary vehicles, if the speeding is less than 10%, a warning is issued without penalty. For example, on a highway with a 120 km/h speed limit, driving at 128 km/h (less than 7% above the limit) will not result in penalty points or fines.
