    How much is a speeding fine?



    The amount that a driver is fined for speeding is impacted by several factors. While the standard fine for speeding on UK roads is typically a minimum of £100 with three points on their licence, under certain conditions and circumstances, it can be more severe. For instance, if a case ends up being heard in court, which band speeding fines fall in, how far beyond the speed limit a motorist was driving and their income can all significantly affect how much must be paid.

    How does your income affect your speeding fine?

    In minor speeding offences that involve a Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) being issued, a driver’s income will not impact the penalty owed. However, when a driving offence is serious and goes to a Magistrates' Court, or a driver rejects an FPN and pleads not guilty, fines are calculated based on a percentage of their weekly income using their take-home pay once National Insurance (NI) and tax are deducted. The exact amount is decided by driver speed along with the band their offence falls into.

    Band A covers driving up to10 miles per hour (mph) beyond the speed limit and fines faced are 25% to 75% of weekly income. Band B covers speeds of 11 to 20 mph beyond the limit, with fines of between 75% to 125% of weekly pay. Finally, Band C is for offenses involving driving 21 or more mph over the limit, with fines ranging from 125% to 175% of weekly income.

    Why do you need to know how long I’ve held my licence?

    If your offence occurs when you have held a driving licence for under two years, according to the New Drivers Act, you can potentially face automatic licence revocation. This can have a critical bearing on assessing the likely outcomes and best approaches to manage your case.

    Why do you need to know how many points are on my licence?

    To calculate the likely outcome of a speeding offence, the number of points on your licence is a relevant as the court will take this into account. Our experienced solicitors can provide a more accurate assessment of outcomes with this information.
