Very heavily sanctioned, speeding over 50 km / h is subject to heavy penalties and is considered a crime in the event of a repeat offense.
We have all swerved a little at times. Traffic Laws while driving a little faster than the limitation. But generally, this is limited to an excess of less than 20 km / h, which most of the time goes unnoticed, but which is already punished by the withdrawal of a point on the driver’s license. A penalty which then becomes heavier and heavier depending on the excess, with penalties which are then intended to be much more dissuasive. But precisely, what is the risk of driving at more than 50 km/h in relation to the speed limit? Auto-Moto takes stock for you.
Heavy penalties
Sanctioned by a 5th class fine, whether observed by a fixed speed camera or a police check, thespeeding 50 km / h is the subject of a judgment before a police court. Numerous sanctions are then provided for by law, in order to dissuade potential candidates. Here are which ones:
- Fine of 1,500 euros

- 3-year suspension of driving license (without suspension or “white license”)
- Prohibition from driving certain motor vehicles for a maximum of 3 years
