What is the penalty for driving too fast?
Speed is one of the main causes of road accidents. Speeding can also result in a ticket and loss of your driving license. From February 1, 2023, the penalty rates increased. The fines are the same for everyone whether you are a student or a billionaire.
Increasing fines for speeding
Speeding is punishable by a fine or imprisonment, see § 31 of the Road Traffic Law together with § 5 i § 6 . For minor speeding offences, the rules on simplified orders in traffic cases apply . This simplification means that you will receive the ticket on the spot, and accepting it will end the matter. From February 1, 2023, the rates increased. This is all very schematic according to § 1 Regulation
- 5 km/h too fast, the fee is NOK 1100
- 10 km/h too fast, the fine is NOK 3000
- 15 km/h too fast, the rate is NOK 5400
- 20 km/h too fast, a fine of NOK 7800
- 25 km/h too fast, the penalty is NOK 12.
When the speed limit is 70 km/h or more and you are driving:
- 5 km/h too fast, the fee is NOK 1100
- 10 km/h too fast, the fine is NOK 3000
- 15 km/h too fast, NOK 4800 was agreed
- 20 km/h too fast, the penalty is NOK 6700
- 25 km/h too fast, load is NOK 9100
- 30 km/h too fast, the fee is NOK 12
- 35 km/h too fast, the fine is NOK 14.
If the speed limit is 90 km/h or more and you exceed the speed limit by 36 km/h up to and including 40 km/h, the fine is NOK 15.

These are penalty points and there is room for judgment in determining the period of disqualification. Attention should be paid to the effects that the loss of a driving license is assumed to have on the holder if the effect appears to be significantly more onerous than normal, see chapter 1-3 driving license loss regulations .
Speeding gives 2 or 3 points according to provisions on penalty fees § 3 second paragraph. From section 4 it also states that anyone who scores "eight points or more in three years" loses his license for six months.
