Step-by-Step Guide
How to determine your fine step by step: 1. Choose the type of violation: speeding, tailgating (insufficient distance), running a red light, mobile phone use, alcohol, parking violation. 2. Enter the details: For speeding: the speed driven in km/h and the permitted speed in km/h. Inside or outside built-up areas. 3. Read off the fine: Speeding within built-up areas: up to 10 km/h: 30 EUR. 11-15 km/h: 50 EUR. 16-20 km/h: 70 EUR (1 point). 21-25 km/h: 115 EUR (1 point). 26-30 km/h: 180 EUR (1 point). 31-40 km/h: 260 EUR (2 points, 1-month driving ban). 41-50 km/h: 400 EUR (2 points, 1 month). 51-60 km/h: 560 EUR (2 points, 2 months). 4. Take note of points and driving bans: From 4 points: admonition. From 6: warning. 8 points: revocation of the driving licence. 5. Repeat offenders: Exceeding the speed limit by more than 26 km/h twice within one year results in a driving ban even in first-offence cases that would normally carry no driving ban.
Calculation Example
