fines qld speeding Page 597

In Queensland, speeding penalties scale with how far over the limit you are, and they carry both fines and demerit points. Expect tougher penalties in school zones and roadwork areas, and camera-detected offences count just the same as a roadside stop. Rack up enough points within a set period and you can face suspension, and high-range speeding can bring harsher sanctions again. Learners and provisional drivers have lower demerit-point thresholds, so that P plate is not a hall pass. Repeat offences can also attract heavier consequences. For the current dollar amounts and point brackets, check the Queensland Government’s official schedule before your right foot writes a cheque your licence can’t cash.
