In South Australia (SA), the fine for speeding is not a single fixed amount; it varies significantly depending on how much you exceed the posted speed limit.
Understanding Speeding Fines in South Australia
Speeding fines in SA are issued as expiation fees, which are monetary penalties for various road rule offences. These fees increase progressively with the speed at which a driver is detected travelling over the limit. It's important to note that in addition to financial penalties, speeding offences also incur demerit points, which can lead to licence suspension or disqualification if a driver accumulates too many points.
The exact expiation fees for speeding offences in South Australia are as follows:
| Speed Over Limit | Expiation Fee (AUD) |
|---|---|
| By less than 10 km/h | $202 |
| By 10 km/h or more but less than 20 km/h | $455 |
| By 20 km/h or more but less than 30 km/h | $926 |
| By 30 km/h or more but less than 45 km/h | $1684 |
