Speeding

A speeding Infringement Notice will usually cost you a fine and demerit points. In more serious cases, the RMS or police may suspend your licence.

There are ways to avoid losing your licence due to a speeding fine. The right approach depends on the type of licence you hold and the circumstances of your speeding.

It’s important to get the right advice, as the laws in this area are a jumbled maze. At Ainsley Law, traffic law is all we do. Knowing the ins-and-outs is our business.

Call us to discuss the best way to keep you in the driver’s seat.

In most cases you won’t automatically lose your licence for speeding.

You will face a suspension if:

  • You go over your demerit point limit
  • You were speeding by more than 30 kph
  • You were speeding by more than 45 kph

In these cases the RMS will send you a letter suspending your driver’s licence once the offence reaches your traffic record.

If you have been suspended on the spot for a serious speeding offence, take a look at what can be done about immediate police suspensions.
