Once you have exceeded the limit, you can get a fine, but depending on your speed, the financial penalty and the points lost increases.
It is not the same that you are fined for going 70 km / h in a section of 50 km / h than if you do it at 100 km / h. As you will already know if you have a driving license, the higher the speed at which you circulate, the worse the penalty will be and sometimes it can even constitute a crime.
If the police stop you because you have committed an offense, they usually inform you at the time of what the fine means in terms of amount and points, but if you know that a radar has jumped or you have been seen and you are waiting for the sanction, you can also know what it will be, although for that you must look at the speed at which you were circulating and what the limit was.
The DGT has shared through your Twitter account a table that clarifies how the fine will be at the moment, just go to the limit of the road and look what corresponds to the speed at which you were traveling.
As they point out in the DGT: “The limits of #speed are established to protect the road safety of all. Failure to respect them carries a penalty of between € 100 and € 600 and the loss of 2 to 6 points. If the urban limit is exceeded by 60 km / h or 80 the interurban limit, it is #crime“.
Over the years, the financial amount and the points that you can lose by being fined have changed. In addition, more fines are imposed due to the greater number of radars on our roads and highways, and the speed limit has been reduced in a large number of cities. Everything is constantly changing, so it is worth knowing the information we share.
In any case, you will see in the table that the fines range from 100 euros and no point lost to the very serious ones that reach 600 euros and 6 points, a penalty that no one wants, but it is also very difficult to suffer without realizing it due to the speeds at which you have to drive for this to happen.
