Speeding fines

Speed caught by radar, by the road's limit (Annex IV). Exceeding the limit by more than 60 km/h in town, or 80 km/h on interurban roads, is a criminal offence (art. 379 Criminal Code).

How to read it: find the row with the road's limit and the cell with your speed; the column header shows the fine and points. Example: 50 km/h limit, radar at 86 km/h → 400 € and −4 points.

Limit, km/h	100 €no points	300 €−2 points	400 €−4 points	500 €−6 points	600 €−6 points
20	21–40	41–50	51–60	61–70	71+
30	31–50	51–60	61–70	71–80	81+
40	41–60	61–70	71–80	81–90	91+
