Will speeding in a national highway section with average speed cameras result in penalty points?
1 Answers
Speeding in a national highway section with average speed cameras will result in penalty points. Exceeding the speed limit by 20% on national highways incurs a fine and 3 penalty points on the driver's license. Drivers exceeding the speed limit by less than 10% will receive a warning. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 10% but less than 20% results in a fine and 3 penalty points. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 20% but less than 50% incurs a fine and 6 penalty points. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 50% results in 12 penalty points and a fine. Average speed cameras work by placing two adjacent monitoring points on the same road section. The system calculates the vehicle's average speed based on the time taken to pass between the two points and determines if the vehicle has exceeded the speed limit. When you see an "average speed camera" sign by the road, reduce your speed to within the limit. If you are caught speeding at the first point, be sure to reduce your speed below the limit before reaching the second point, as long as the calculated average speed between the two points does not exceed the limit.
