The magistrate must suspend your licence for at least: 3 months if your speed was between 25 km/hour and 35 km/hour over the speed limit. 6 months if your speed was between 35 km/hour and 45 km/hour over the speed limit. 12 months if your speed was 45 km/hour or more over the speed limit.
Immediate licence suspension will apply to: a person caught driving 45 km/h or more over the speed limit or 145 km/h or more in a 110 km/h zone (these motorists are also subject to vehicle impoundment)
This means that an infringement notice is issued for less than the speed a person was detected to be travelling at. This tolerance deducts two km/hr from a vehicle's detected speed for fixed digital safety cameras. For mobile cameras, a tolerance of three km/hr or three per cent for speeds over 100km/hr is deducted.
You will be issued with an excessive speeding fine if you are caught driving 25km or more above the speed limit, or driving at more than 130km if the speed limit is 110km.
What is the 'rule'? The 'rule' itself is quite straightforward: if the speed limit is (for example) 30mph, the rule states that you won't get a speeding ticket unless you are going 10% plus 2 mph faster than the limit.
Yes and no - it's not illegal to drive a bit under the speed limit, but if you drive abnormally slowly then you could be committing an offence.
Mobile speed camera FAQs
On a straight section of road the typical range for a mobile speed camera is one mile. Can you get caught behind another car? As long as the speed camera operator can see and target your vehicle they will be able to get a reading of your speed.
The detected speed is the speed recorded on a speed measuring device. The alleged speed is a lesser speed which the police allege in the charge or on the infringement notice after making allowance for possible margins of error .
ALL of Victoria's mobile speed cameras are to be replaced with “supercams” that are the most effective in the world at catching leadfoots. The new hi-tech cameras will be able to snap speeding motorists from both the front and rear, and across up to eight lanes of traffic.
Police and other authorised people can give you a fine if they think you have broken the law. A fine means you must pay money as a penalty. You may not know you have a fine until you get an infringement notice in the mail.

Speed zones and speed limits are set by teams of specialists who review the roads and how they are used. Individual or small networks of roads are reviewed on a case by case basis in response to community feedback or changes to the road environment.
If your licence/learner permit is current, we'll send you a notice saying that your licence/learner permit will be suspended unless you choose the extended demerit point period.
VicRoads adds three demerit points to your licence from the date the offence happened, not the date you went to court. The magistrate cannot change this.
If your licence is cancelled your licence no longer exists. You do not automatically get your licence back. You must apply to court or to VicRoads for another licence when the cancelation time ends. Normally when your licence is cancelled you will also be disqualified from driving.
How mobile cameras work. Mobile road safety cameras use a radar to determine the speed and the direction of a vehicle. The camera can detect speeding vehicles in 1 or both directions and from either side of the road.

Do average speed cameras have a tolerance? Technically it's still breaking the law, but the average speed camera tolerance is generally 10% plus two speeds over the speed limit (for example, 79mph in a 70mph zone).
A speed camera flash is a visual indication that a vehicle's speed has been captured by a speed camera. It is not a guarantee that a speeding ticket will be issued, but it is a warning that the vehicle's speed has been recorded.
Average speed cameras work by recording your speed at two different points. They don't capture your speed in a single flash. Instead, they'll monitor your speed over a length of road. This is so people don't slow down just before they see a camera and then speed up again afterwards.
Bottom line, if you are caught breaking the speed limit in an emergency, and wish to fight the charge, you'll need to go to court, plead 'not guilty' and present your case to a magistrate. You may have a defence if you had to speed because of an emergency, for example, if someone was critically ill in the car.
In other words, the police do not need to obey traffics laws, but only if they are exercising a power or performing a function as required. This means that the police are lawfully allowed to speed, drive through red lights and do other acts which would ordinarily be a traffic offence.
The rule requires drivers and riders to slow to 40 km/h when passing stationary enforcement or emergency vehicles with flashing lights. Once fully passed the enforcement or emergency vehicle, the rule requires drivers not to increase speed until a safe enough distance from the roadside incident.
