The best way to avoid a speeding fine is not to speed, as a heavy right foot can incur some significant penalties. Here’s a full list from all states and territories.
The penalties for speeding in Australia vary from state to state and occasionally depend on the licence you hold. Tolerances are strict and cameras plentiful, so before you think that letting your car ‘stretch its legs’ is a good idea, consider the following monetary fines and demerit point penalties.
We’ve noted all states and territories as they pertain to passenger cars, on ‘regular’ days (not double-demerit periods).
