Speeding penalties

    The minimum penalty for speeding is a £100 fine and 3 penalty points added to your licence.

    You could be disqualified from driving if you build up 12 or more penalty points within a period of 3 years.

    By law, the vehicle’s registered keeper must be sent a notice of intended prosecution within 14 days of the alleged speeding offence.

    New drivers

    If you’re still within 2 years of passing your driving test, your driving licence will be revoked (withdrawn) if you build up 6 or more penalty points.
