On a motorway, express road or a regular road speeding 20 km/h more than what is allowsed results in a temporary ban of the driving licence and speeding 30 km/h more than what is allowed results in losing the driving licence.
Similar rules apply for speeding in a built-up area, Zone 30, and residentional area, that is speeding 20 km/h more than allowed results in temporary ban of driving and more than 30km/h results in losing the dirving license.
What does happen when someone drives 25 km/h more than allowed in a built-up area? Is it temporarily losing the driving licence? Is it an immediate lost of licence or is it decided by a judge in a court?
Penalty for overspeeding
Re: Penalty for overspeeding
You got things mixed up ...
An immediate withdrawal of your licence ( 15 days) may be ordered when you're stopped by the police when you were doing
> 20 kph over the limit in a built-up area, school area, zone 30, residential area (woonerf)
> 30 kph over the limit elsewhere
This is seen as a temporary safety measure.
In the same conditions, a judge may revoke your right to drive a motorised vehicle as a measure of punishment when you are convicted for these infringements ... months or years later.
(as of > 40 kph over the limit, revoking the offender's right to drive a motorvehicle is mandatory)
These 2 are not mutually exclusive
So you may get an immediate ban for 15 days, to be followed later on by a judge revoking your right to drive a motorvehicle when you're convicted.
You may also be required to redo some or all exams to be restored in the right to drive.
An immediate withdrawal of your licence (aka temporary driving ban) may vhappen if the offence is observed by the police and the offender is stopped right away.
And it might be followed up by having your right to drive a motorvehicle revoked in court at a later date.
