Speeding in New Zealand is not Fine

Speeding in New Zealand is not Fine

New Zealand’s speeding limits are relatively low (averaging 50km/hour in urban areas), and their tolerance for offenders is equally low. (South Africans, don’t ever try to bribe a Kiwi cop - you’ll just dig yourself in deeper)

Speeding fines progressively increase for speeds in excess of 10 kilometres an hour, with a maximum fine of $630 where the speed is up to 50 kilometres an hour over the limit. Speeds in excess of this limit come into the careless / dangerous / reckless categories depending on circumstances, and also incur a mandatory 28 day licence suspension.
