258. Exceso de velocidad
El exceso de velocidad consiste en conducir por encima de la velocidad máxima permitida por la ley o una señal. Una mayor velocidad reduce el tiempo disponible para reaccionar, aumenta la distancia de detención y hace más graves las colisiones. El conductor también debe adaptar la velocidad al tráfico, visibilidad, tiempo y estado de la carretera, por lo que incluso circular al límite legal puede ser demasiado rápido para determinadas circunstancias. Las sanciones varían entre países y pueden depender de cuánto se superó el límite y del lugar donde ocurrió la infracción.
How are speeding fines calculated in Belgium?
For an immediate collection, the first 10 km/h above the speed limit costs €58. Above the first 10 km/h, the amount increases for every additional kilometre per hour.
How much does each additional kilometre per hour cost in Belgium?
In a built-up area, zone 30, school environment, residential area or encounter zone, the fine increases by €12 for every additional km/h above the first 10 km/h. On other roads, it increases by €7 per additional km/h.
When can serious speeding lead to court proceedings in Belgium?
For Belgian residents, an immediate collection is generally no longer possible when the speed limit is exceeded by more than 30 km/h in a built-up area, zone 30, school environment, residential area or encounter zone, or by more than 40 km/h on other roads. The case is normally referred to court.
Can speeding lead to a driving ban in Belgium?
Yes. A court can impose a driving ban of between 8 days and 5 years for serious speeding. For the highest speeding category, a driving ban is mandatory.
Are the rules stricter for novice drivers in Belgium?
Yes. If a driver has held a category B licence for less than two years, a driving ban is mandatory for certain serious speeding offences, and regaining the right to drive can require passing a theory or practical examination again.
Can speeding fines be handled by a municipality in Belgium?
In Flanders, certain limited speeding offences on roads with a 30 or 50 km/h speed limit can be handled through municipal administrative sanctions when the legal conditions are met.
Does the posted speed limit always mean that speed is safe in Belgium?
No. Drivers must still adapt their speed to traffic, visibility, weather and road conditions. A lower speed may therefore be required even when the posted limit is higher.
