Loud news.de will be here since8:00 a.mmeasured in a 50 km/h zone. It's worth keeping an eye on the speed limits, because speeding is not just a money issue, but also a common cause of traffic accidents in Germany.
But what happens if you go over the speed limit? The Road Traffic Act (StVO) stipulates that violations can lead to punishment in the form of fines, points and, in extreme cases, even driving bans. The penalties vary considerably depending on the severity of the violation. Stricter rules apply in urban areas than on country roads. A special attention The current fines apply: If you exceed 21 km/h, you will be fined just 1 point and 115 euros.
Fines at a glance
Here is a small overview of the fines for speeding in urban areas:
| transgression | fine | Points | Driving ban |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 10 km/h | 30€ | 0 | – |
| 21 – 25 km/h | 115€ | 1 | – |
| 26 – 30 km/h | 180€ | 1 | 1 month |
| 41 – 50 km/h | 400€ | 2 | 2 months |
| Over 70 km/h | 800€ | 2 | 3 months |
The tolerances of the speed cameras are another important aspect. At speeds below 100 km/h a deduction of 3 km/h is taken into account, while at higher speeds 3 percent is deducted from the measured value. This ensures that small measurement inaccuracies do not immediately lead to a fine. However, it is important to be aware that mobile speed cameras, such as those found in Elmshorn today, can always be well camouflaged.
