The Importance of Using a Speeding Fine Calculator
It’s important that you use our calculator so you’re don’t have a nasty surprise when you receive your speeding fine. You do not have to enter any personal details when you’re using the calculator.
All you need to do is input how much you earn in a year, and what the speed limit was, and how fast you were driving. The speeding fine calculator will then work out how much you’re likely to have to pay if you don’t defend the NIP.
What the Speeding Fine Calculator Tells You…
Our calculator that’s ideal for working out the cost of speeding fines will give you an estimate as to how much you’re likely to pay.
Please note that your fine could be different depending on the circumstances surrounding your offence. However, the maximum possible speeding ticket fine is £1,000. If you were caught speeding on a motorway you may be charged as much as £2,500.
It’s important that you use our speeding fine calculator as it will show you how much you may need to pay. This will allow you to prepare yourself for receiving a fine. It can also help you to understand whether it’s worth your while hiring a speeding lawyer to defend you.
If your case does end up in court it will make sense to have representation.
How Speeding Fines are Calculated:
The recent changes in speeding offences means the fine you’re likely to receive will now be based on your weekly wage.
For example, if you were caught travelling 1 mph to 10 mph over the speed limit your fine can be as much as 25% to 75% of your weekly wage. You may also receive 3 points on your driving licence.
If you were caught travelling 11 mph to 20 mph over the speed limit your fine can be as much as 75% to 125% of your weekly wage. You may also receive 4 to 6 points on your driving licence. Alternatively, you may also receive 7 to 28 days’ disqualification.
If you were caught travelling more than 21 mph over the speed limit your fine can be as much as 125% to 175% of your weekly wage. You may also receive 6 to 12 points on your driving licence. Alternatively, you may also receive 7 to 56 days’ disqualification or a driving ban.
Your fine will be calculated depending on how fast you were driving over the speed limit and the circumstances surrounding the offence. Your weekly income will also affect how much your fine is going to be.
Attending a Speed Awareness Course
Depending on the severity of your driving you may be given the option to attend a speed awareness course. A course such as this will ensure that points are not added to your licence but you will still have to pay a £100 fine. This could be an option for those who live in England and Wales, however, Scotland has a different sentencing guideline.
Disqualification From Driving
You may be disqualified from driving if your case is sent to a court. Magistrates only tend to issue a driving ban if you were caught travelling more than 45% over the speed limit. Whether you decide to plead guilty to the offence or you wish to deny it you may need to seek legal advice.
Your Car Insurance
Your car insurance are likely to rise if you have been caught speeding. This is because the insurance company will deem that you’re more at risk of a crash. If you get flashed by speed cameras you can expect to pay more for your insurance over the next few years.
