Ah, Queensland speed fines, the state’s way of reminding you that speeding is about as welcome as a mozzie at a BBQ. Fines vary depending on how much you exceed the speed limit by, but expect anywhere from $150 to over $1,000 for serious offences, plus demerit points that could see your licence doing a disappearing act. The threshold for fines usually starts at just 1 km/h over the limit, and things get spicy beyond 13 km/h over. Heavy penalties kick in if you’re caught in school zones or roadworks, where the fine can double.
For those who think they can dodge the system, be warned: Queensland uses speed cameras and police patrols like a hawk. Check Tradingpost or CarShowroom forums for locals’ tales of woe and advice. If you’re after official and up-to-date info, the Queensland Government website is the place to go.
