Speeding Fines for Light Motor Vehicles

Traffic Law Enforcement (Department of Community Safety, Provincial Government of the Western Cape)

SUMMARY

Traffic officers and departments refer to this table of speeding fines, determined by a magistrate, when deciding how much a speeding fine should be.

Traffic officers and departments refer to a set table of speeding fines when deciding how much a speeding fine should be.

These fines are set by magistrate's order and cannot be changed without a magistrate's approval. They are only valid in the Cape Town Metropole and the Western Cape.

There are different fines for light motor vehicles, such as a normal family car, and heavy vehicles such as trucks.

Admission of guilt fines

A speeding fine is, in effect, an admission of guilt. Motorists who exceed the maximum speed for admission-of-guilt fines, as indicated in these tables, are not given the option to pay an admission-of-guilt fine. They are arrested and brought before a magistrate. If found guilty, they may face up to five years in prison or a R25 000 fine.
