What is Speeding ?

Police may immediately suspend and confiscate your licence for the following offences:

  • Speeding in excess of 45 km/h over the speed limit.
  • Speeding in excess of 30km/h over the speed limit whilst the holder of a learner or provisional licence.

The duration of the suspension depends on how fast you were travelling over the speed limit:

  • more than 30 km/hr over the limit but under 45 km/hr, your licence will be suspended for 3 months
  • more than 45 km/hr over the limit, your licence will be suspended for 6 months.

Other speeding offences

Being caught for other speeding offences (lower speed than set out above) will usually result in an infringement per the Road Transport Act2013 (NSW) and will usually mean a fine plus the loss of demerit points.

What must the prosecution prove?

The law assumes that Speeding cameras and Police or mobile or other radar devises are accurate. If you want to argue that the detector was inaccurate, you would have to show that it was broken or improperly operated. You would need an expert to explain this in court.

If you are charged with the offence of DRINK DRIVING what are your options?

Speeding fines can be challenged. You can take the matter to court and ask for the court not to impose a conviction and deal with the matter by way of a section 10 of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999 (NSW), in which case you will not lose your demerit points.
