Traffic police fines for speeding are, one might say, a classic, since the overwhelming majority of violations on the road are associated precisely with non-compliance speed mode... Almost every driver at least once for this traffic violation.
Speed \u200b\u200blimits on public roads
In the rules road traffic all speed limits are spelled out on a particular area: the maximum speed in the city is 60 km / h, outside the city - 90 km / h, on highways - 110 km / h, 130 km / h on certain intercity highways. On the road, usually in the city and others settlements, there may be special signs that additionally limit the speed, most often to 40 km / h.
Table of speed limits for public roads, compiled on the basis of.
| Vehicle | In the village | Outside the settlement | Motorway | Living sector |
| Cars | 60 | 90 | 110 | 20 |
| Cars with trailers | 60 | 70 | 90 | 20 |
| Category B trucks | 60 | 90 | 110 | 20 |
| Category C trucks | 60 | 70 | 90 | 20 |
| Trucks carrying people in the back | 60 | 60 | 60 | 20 |
| Motorcycles | 60 | 90 | 110 | 20 |
| Intercity buses | 60 | 90 | 90 | 20 |
| Minibuses | 60 | 90 | 90 | 20 |
| Buses carrying children | 60 | 60 | 60 | 20 |
| When towing mechanical vehicles | 50 | 50 | 50 | 20 |
All these restrictions did not appear from the violent imagination of the drafters of traffic rules: each of these speeds is the result of practical tests that prove that these speed values \u200b\u200bare the most optimal so that a motorist can drive as quickly as possible and at the same time adequately assess the road situation around him. and this, in turn, protects him and other road users from accidents.
Fines for speeding in the Code of Administrative Offenses table
In 2017, the amount of traffic fines for speed depends on how much the driver has exceeded the permissible limits. can be seen in this table.
Permissible excess of speed 0-20 km / h. That is, a maximum of 19 km / h speed can be higher than the permissible speed without a fine, and the greatest that can be is a verbal warning from the traffic police inspector if he fixes the violation. Many drivers mistakenly believe that the maximum speed in the city is 80 km / h, and not 60 km / h, since "a speed penalty is issued after 80 km / h." This opinion is erroneous. That is, for example, in accident caseif one of the cars was driving 62 km / h, it was he who would be guilty, because he violated the speed limit. In addition, at a speed of 40-45 km / h in a collision, half of the pedestrians die, the other half is guaranteed to receive serious injuries. What will happen at 80 km / h? It's even scary to imagine.
If the speeding is in the range of 20-60 km / h, then the traffic police inspector will draw up a protocol on administrative offense and write out an administrative fine. If the speed of movement is more than the set by more than 60 km / h, then deprivation of driving license.
The fine for the minimum, that is, up to 20 km / h, speeding in Russia was canceled in September 2013. Throughout 2017, there was persistent talk that the permitted limit of 20 km / h would be canceled and that an overspeed of up to 10 km / h would be introduced. But 2018 has already begun, and there are no changes yet.
Some (but not all) speeding fines are discounted by 50% if paid within 20 days of the violation.

When does speed become responsible?
The driver's fault can only be proven in the manner prescribed by law: for example, the fact of a violation is recorded by measuring instruments, in particular by automatic fixation cameras.
Article 26.8 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation:
1. Under special technical means are understood measuring instrumentsapproved in accordance with the established procedure as measuring instruments with appropriate certificates and metrological verification.
2. The testimony of special technical means shall be reflected in the protocol on an administrative offense or in a resolution on a case on an administrative offense made in the case provided for by part 3 of Article 28.6 of this Code.
Today it is video recording cameras that are the main tool for catching speed violators. However, there are some specifics to be aware of:
- if the fact of violation is recorded only by a camera, and not by a traffic police officer, then the maximum that you will receive is an administrative fine. A driver's license is not deprived of a camera when a traffic violation is recorded. In the event that you violated the article of the code, which implies deprivation of rights as a punishment (speeding from 60 km / h), then if your violation is recorded on a video camera, you will pay the maximum fine. It must be remembered that video recording means determine the number of the car, and not the one who is driving. Therefore, the penalty order will come to the owner of the car. All possible penalties The traffic police, recorded using video recording tools, can be viewed in this table.

|
Exceeding the speed specified in the speed limits by 80 km / h and above |
RUB 5,000 for the first such violation, 5000 rubles. for repeated |
A violation is considered repeated if it has occurred within a year from the date of entry into force of the decision on the violation. The ruling takes effect 10 days after receiving a copy, 10 days after filing a complaint official or after 2 months, if the complaint is being considered in court.
You should be aware that devices for determining the speed of a car initially have a small error. You can use this and insist that your actions during the violation be re-qualified under a less strict article. For example, if your speed was 122 km / h, at a time when the road limit was 60 km / h, and the traffic police meter has an error of +/- 2 km / h, then the court has the right to punish you for speeding no more than than by 60 km / h, and this is only an administrative fine (Article 12.9 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation). When choosing, a judge takes into account both mitigating and aggravating circumstances of the case, as well as the danger posed by your offense.
It must be remembered that if you are caught and threatened with deprivation driving license, then this can be legally avoided by appealing the decision of the inspector in court, with the help of an auto lawyer.
You should know the following:
- police radars must be operated in certain weather;
- violation should be recorded on video or camera. At the same time, the numbers and make of the car must be clearly visible. The inspector must prove that, for example, in a dense traffic, the car is yours, and not someone else's.
- radars have an error. Therefore, if the excess on the radar was exactly 60 km, then in court you can try to prove that you drove 58 km / h more, and this is already an administrative fine, not a deprivation of rights.
Government Russian Federation is considering the return of punishment for exceeding the speed limit by 10 kilometers per hour. Recall that since 2013, the permitted speed limit in the country is 20 kilometers per hour.
According to domestic publications, the Russian government is discussing the issue of reducing the speed limit in cities to 50 km / h, while this limit is planned to return to fines for speeding by 10 km / h. Thus, with signs "50", drivers will be able to drive with impunity at a speed of no more than 60 km / h. Currently, the speed limit in cities is 60 km / h, but drivers are allowed to drive without any punishment at a speed of 80 km / h.
Actual Autonews
It is noted that such a decision can also be made due to the replacement of standard characters with characters of reduced size. This experiment has already been carried out on several streets of the Russian capital. Experts believe that “lowering the speed limit in cities is mandatory, since at a speed of 70-80 km / h new signs will not be visible”. Plus, the number of accidents will decrease.
We add that another option is also under consideration, implying a reduction in the speed limit to 40 km / h and an allowable excess of 20 km / h.
For a separate period. For example, traffic fines for speeding on cars are very common.
According to numerous data for 2018, most of the violations occur for the following reasons:
- unjustifiably risky behavior on the road and intentional non-observance of traffic rules - this applies to both drivers and pedestrians;
- driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs - comments are unnecessary here;
- speeding - which Russian doesn't like driving fast? - but at the same time, many forget about weather conditions, restrictions, requirements of road signs;
- faulty condition of vehicles, namely the braking system;
- non-compliance with the distance;
- incorrect behavior in extreme situations - people begin to confuse the pedals, make the wrong decisions.
Out of love for high speeds a large percentage of accidents happen. Suffice it to say that in Russia as a whole, due to non-observance of traffic rules and violation of the speed limit, about 46,000 occurred in April last year alone, in which more than 60,000 people were injured, and 5,714 lost their lives.
In order to somehow influence this negative statistics, serious restrictions and rather significant monetary fines for speeding are introduced. For such violations associated with exceeding the speed limit, reckless drivers are also subject to such a measure of influence as deprivation of a driver's license. This article will just be devoted to fines for drivers who exceed the speed limit on the road.
The issues of speed of movement are fully disclosed in the 10th section of the SDA.
Let's list the main points:
- the car owner must take into account not only the restrictions for this section of the road (city, highway, highway), but also the traffic intensity, technical condition of the vehicle, quality road surface;
- when emergency situations it is necessary to take all measures to prevent an accident - go slower or make a full stop;
- it is forbidden to both exceed the maximum speed and move too slowly (on highways and highways), creating obstacles to other road users.
For ease of perception, we provide a table, from which you can get information about how much you have to pay for such violations.
As you can see, punishments are provided only in case of excess by 20 km / h or more. However, this does not mean at all that it is possible, for example, to accelerate to 40 km / h in a residential area (there is a limit of 20 km / h) or under the sign 3.24, and here's why:
- firstly, you are subject to Article 12.16 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, part 1 - failure to comply with the requirements of road signs (500 rubles);
- secondly, in the event of an accident, even if you were innocent, you will be recognized as such because you exceeded the speed limit by at least 1 km / h - thanks to the traceological examination, you can determine with an accuracy of several km / h how fast the car was moving at the time of the collision ...
In short, exceeding the speed limit by 10-20 kilometers will do without a fine only where there are no limit signs and where the situation and the quality of the road surface allow you to move faster.
The next moment that raises questions is the phrase “in case of repeated violation”.
According to Article 4.6 of the Administrative Code, a violation is considered a repeated violation that was committed within a year after the previous one was written out, and the legal decision on its appointment entered into force.
In simple terms, if the protocol was issued on August 20, 2017, then a similar violation that you committed before August 20, 2018 will be considered repeated, respectively, the punishment will be more severe.
Well, the last thing about fines and penalties: if the speed limit is exceeded by 60, 80 or more km / h, deprivation of rights or a monetary penalty are provided. A fine for speeding will have to be paid if the camera recorded the fact of non-observance of traffic rules. If you are caught by inspectors, you will have to part with your driver's license.
Permitted speed modes
For each section of the road, its own speed limits are set, for exceeding which fines are issued (the table contains detailed information).
Every driving school graduate is required to know about these regimes and adhere to them. They were invented for a reason, but in order to reduce the number of accidents involving both cars and pedestrians.
According to statistics, after the abolition of the rule on the collection of a fine for speeding by less than 20 km / h, the number of accidents remained at the same level. This fact suggests that drivers have become more responsible in complying with traffic rules.
The question arises - what are these standards related to? Let's try to figure it out.
Town
In city conditions, you cannot accelerate faster than 60 km / h (SDA 10.2). On some highways, it is allowed to move faster, but subject to the installation of appropriate permissive signs. It should be said that even at a speed of 60 km / h, it is not always possible to react to sudden interference. In order for the driver to avoid a fine for possible speeding, he must:
- comply with the requirements of road signs;
- be extremely careful in places where pedestrians may appear on the road (near schools, bus stops, intersections, pedestrian crossings);
- give priority to pedestrians at zebra crossing, intersections, in residential areas.
Even if the pedestrian is to blame, part of the motorist's fault will also be present, since he must always be vigilant and choose the safest speed limit.
Track, out of town
Outside the city, the permitted maximum is 90 km / h. There are also limitations for different types vehicles - for example, passenger buses on public roads carrying children cannot accelerate faster than 60 km / h. Cars with a trailer - no more than 70 km / h. If you are driving another car on a hitch, then the maximum speed is not more than 50 kilometers.
Motorway
The motorway is marked with sign 5.1. It has its own special rules:
- acceleration up to 110 km / h is allowed, with special signs - up to 130 km / h;
- it is forbidden to drive slower than 40 km / h (mopeds, tractors, tractors, cars in disrepair);
- it is forbidden to teach driving and reversing on motorways.
There are also limitations for other types of vehicles (see table).
A few words about the maximum excess
Many drivers believe that the maximum speed that can be exceeded, both in the city and on the highway, is no more than 60 km / h. Their justification in this case is simple - if you drive faster, then there will be a deprivation of rights, and not a fine. Many citizens also adhere to the rule - do not exceed by more than 20 km / h, so that there is no fine. Here it is worth paying attention to the fact that traffic rules cannot be exceeded by any amount, if it is, for example, a city, then the maximum speed should be 60 km / h. Anything more will be considered a violation.
It must be remembered that the greater the excess, the braking distances there will be more, and therefore, injuries and injuries can be caused much more and much more seriously. If, in the event of an accident, the investigating commission finds out that the car was moving with an excess in the city, even less than 20 km / h, then this may serve as an excuse not to receive a CMTPL payment from the insurance company. And in the worst case, during the trial, you can become the culprit of an accident. Therefore, you need to correctly assess the situation and prevent violations of the speed limit.
How else is movement speed regulated?
In other cases, it is indicated by signs:
- prohibitive - restricted zone, end of restricted zone;
- prescriptive - minimum speed;
- special prescriptions - motorway, road for cars, direction and speed of movement along lanes, settlement;
- informational - sign 6.2 (recommended speed).
You also need to take into account the requirements of the markup, for example, markup 1.24.2 duplicates sign 3.24 - restriction maximum speed... The stop line obliges the driver to stop before crossing roads.
How to challenge speeding?
Through modern means traffic police inspectors can determine the vehicle speed with an accuracy of +/- 2-5 km. The penalty for speeding in this case will be absolutely justified. In addition, in big cities, on highways and highways, stationary cameras such as Strelka-ST, KRIS and others are installed.
In addition to stationary ones, traffic police officers can use mobile and manual fixation devices to detect violations related to speed limits. Hand device it is intended for use directly in the hands, and the mobile one is fixed with the help of special tripods in the passenger compartment of the traffic police car. If, during the control, an excess is detected and detected, the culprit will be stopped to draw up a protocol and write out a fine.
In some cases, police officers, while on duty, make some mistakes, knowing which you can successfully challenge the recorded violation.
If you are stopped and accused of exceeding, you must proceed as follows:
- ask the inspector to show the device on which your car with a number should be displayed (often neighboring cars are recorded in a dense stream, and they try to write off on others);
- the traffic policeman must have a quality certificate for the device and an act of checking it, confirming its serviceability;
- the radar must be sealed, in addition, in conditions (fog, rain) the error can be quite large - indicate this fact in the protocol.
Do not forget also that DVRs with GPS / GLONASS, navigators and tachometers display real speed - this data can be used in your defense. If you are not presented with any documents on the radar, then you do not need to sign the protocol.
You have the right, including for violation of the speed limit. To do this, you must file a lawsuit within 10 days for non-recognition of the punishment for speeding as legitimate. If there is evidence, the court will take your side.
What speed do you drive and do you exceed? Leave your opinion and comments below!
When, in September 2013, the 100-ruble fine for speeding by 10–20 km / h was canceled, the drivers were delighted. Say, now they will not punish the innocent. In the opinion of the majority, the devices that record overspeeding were guilty of the same 10-20 km / h. And a small deviation from the established limit is not a reason for punishment, many believe.
According to the traffic police, in eight months of 2014, drivers who violate the speed limit received 29 million letters of happiness. And there are only 50 million cars in the country. The offenders are the army, and each fighter rushes in excess of at least 20 km / h. Horror!
If anyone has forgotten, the penalty for the minimum excess was canceled when they planned to introduce a point system. Then the lawmakers considered that for such a small sin it is not worth punishing with a ruble, they say, enough penalty points.
The point system of punishments died without being born, and the indulgence of 20 km / h remained. As a result, the number of accidents is growing, and the traffic police are sounding the alarm: a third of all accidents happen through the fault of reckless drivers. Inspectors see the root cause precisely in exceeding the established speed threshold with impunity. I agree with them.
In Europe, the penalty for exceeding is more precise. What 20 km / h! In France, it exceeded at least a kilometer - be kind, pay the receipt and get penalty points. In Sweden, for an extra 10 km / h, a fine of 215 euros is due, and if you exceed it by 16-20 km / h, the wallet will be lightened by 300 euros.
But it's not even about the money. An extra 20 km / h can cost someone their lives. He ran into a pedestrian at 40 km / h - and the probability of his death reaches 50%, and at 80 km / h he has no chance of surviving at all. That is why I am sure that it is necessary to return the countdown of the punishable excess from 10 km / h, or even better from 5 km / h. By the way, modern speed fixing devices have a measurement error of ± 1–2 km / h.
Subbotin
Sergey! You refer to statistics - they say, the number of accidents has increased, speed is to blame for everything. Who are you kidding? Do you know how inspectors draw up protocols? Lost control - that's the whole verdict. Why didn't he manage, what was the second before the accident? Traffic cops never wanted and did not know how to analyze. So they send the same reports about the speedy insolvency of citizens. Therefore, we dismiss the statistical argument.
Only yesterday our former colleague, journalist Anatoly Fomin returned from Canada. He drove road trains for several years North America... You can trust his words: exceeding the threshold by 20 km / h (or even more) is the norm for Canada and most of the States. And no one there dies en masse under the wheels of Chevrolet and Fords. And if so, then, perhaps, the reason for the high accident rate on our roads is different?
I have an answer. It is urgent to install dividing barriers between opposite lanes everywhere, to oblige builders to build ground or underground passages even outside the city, to separate roadsides, and not to hang stupid reflectors on people. It is necessary to equip the places of road repair, and not to put concrete blocks across the traffic. Finally, car owners should be forced to switch to studded tires in winter. And to receive information from you and me about the aggressive driving of homebrew racers, about outright violators of the rules. Just!
Now I am quite satisfied with these plus 20 km / h. At least somehow, but we're going. And it will be very sad if this legislative initiative passes, as usual, without a detailed study of the problem and the true causes of the accident rate.
The size of the fine for speeding is from 500 to 5000 rubles. For a significant excess, it is possible to deprive a driver's license for a period of 4 months to 1 year.
If the speed is exceeded up to 20 km / h, there is no penalty. In the near future, this threshold may be reduced to 10 km / h.
Exceeding the maximum permitted speed is the most common violation. There is a myth among drivers that it is allowed to exceed the set speed by 20 km / h. This opinion is wrong. There is no penalty for exceeding the speed limit by 20 km / h, but the rules prohibit exceeding the established speed limit.
After reading this article, you should not have any questions about the responsibility of drivers for exceeding the maximum speed. Detailed description, text of the law, tables, information about a 50% discount, features of automatic recording of violations and visual infographics.
Monetary fines for violation of the speed limit
The amount of the speeding penalty depends on the difference between the maximum permitted speed and the recorded speed. How correct this calculation method is can be discussed separately. For example, for speeding by 40 km / h in a residential area and on a motorway, the same fine is provided - 500 rubles. In the residential area alone, the excess is almost 3 times the permitted limit and poses a significantly greater hazard than the barely noticeable excess on the motorway. Digressing a little, let's go directly to the amount of traffic fines. First, consider the usual monetary fines that are relevant for most drivers, which are issued by the traffic police officer directly at the scene of the violation.
Note again exceeding the maximum speed by 20 km / h is a violation of the traffic rulesfor which there is no responsibility.
Deprivation of driving license for speeding
Only a court can make a decision on deprivation of rights. Thus, if the driver faces the threat of being left without a driver's license, he has the opportunity to resolve this issue with the traffic police, either directly on the spot or later in the department. Traffic police officers are authorized to either write a decision to impose a fine, or refer the case to court.
The practice has developed that in case of conflict-free communication, drivers are prescribed an appropriate money penalty and does not come to trial.
The amount of the fine for automatic recording of the speed of movement
Features of administrative responsibility for fixing violations of the Traffic Rules in automatic mode:
- It is possible to impose only a monetary fine;
- The amount of the fine is the lowest possible.
These provisions are governed by part 3.1 of article 4.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation
In the cases provided for by part 3 of Article 28.6 of this Code, an administrative penalty is imposed in the form of an administrative fine. At the same time, the size of the administrative fine imposed should be the smallest within the limits of the sanction of the applicable article or part of the article of the Special Part of this Code, and in cases where the sanction of the applicable article or part of the article of the Special Part of this Code provides for an administrative penalty in the form of deprivation of the right to drive vehicles or administrative arrest and there is no administrative penalty in the form of an administrative fine, an administrative penalty is imposed in the form of an administrative fine in the amount of five thousand rubles.
The table of penalties for automatic registration of violations looks more loyal to drivers.
| Fines for speeding with automatic recording of a violation | |
|---|---|
| Excess by | Fine amount |
| Exceeding the speed limit by 20 km / h or less | No penalty |
| Exceeding the speed limit from 21 km / h to 40 km / h | 500 ₽ |
| Exceeding the speed limit from 41 km / h to 60 km / h | 1000 ₽ |
| Exceeding the speed limit from 61 km / h to 80 km / h | 2000 ₽ |
| Exceeding the speed limit of more than 80 km / h | 5000 ₽ |
If the violation is automatically recorded, the fine will be issued to the vehicle owner.
The law that governs speed penalties
As for other fines of the traffic police, responsibility is established in Chapter 12 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. Speed \u200b\u200bviolations are covered in article 12.9
Article 12.9. Exceeding the set speed
- Abolished.
- Exceeding the established vehicle speed by more than 20, but not more than 40 kilometers per hour

Speeding fines How long is a traffic violation considered repeated?
The term of the first violation is 1 year from the date of entry into force of the resolution. This period is established by article 4.6 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation.
A person who has been assigned an administrative punishment for committing an administrative offense shall be considered subject to this punishment from the date of entry into force of the decision on the imposition of an administrative punishment until one year expires from the date of completion of the execution of this decision.
The decision on an administrative offense enters into force:
- 10 days after delivery or receipt of a copy (Article 30.3 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation);
- after 10 days, in case of filing a complaint with an official (part 1 of article 30.5 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation);
- after 2 months, in case of consideration of the complaint in court (part 1.1 of article 30.5 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation);
- within 24 hours, in the event of administrative arrest (part 3 of article 30.5 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation).
The first settlement day starts from the next day.
50% discount on speeding tickets
Since 2015, a law has been in effect that allows traffic police fines to be paid with a 50% discount if payment is made within 20 days from the date of the decision. The law provides for exceptions for certain gross violations of the Road Traffic Rules, including some speeding fines.
