In 2017, speeding laws were changed to make sentencing tougher on offending drivers.
The minimum speeding fine is £100 and three penalty points on your licence. But for more serious offences, you could be fined up to 175% of your weekly income. If you build up 12 or more penalty points within a period of 3 years you could be disqualified from driving.
This speeding fine calculator should help you get a better idea about what these fines are likely to be. Enter your annual salary, select a speed limit and a driving speed and you'll see what the likely penalty would be.
The maximum possible fine for speeding is £1,000 on normal roads, and £2,500 on motorways.
The figures below represent the typical fines for each band (A, B and C). Serious offences and mitigating circumstances could raise or lower the fine within that band.
