The offence of speeding begins when you exceed the posted speed limit by one km/h. In some areas, there is zero tolerance for speeding and any driver who exceeds the posted speed limit is stopped and charged. Speed is one of the three leading causes of death in motor vehicle collisions. Speeding causes loss of life. A conviction can cost you increased insurance pre- miums. A charge of exceeding the speed limit by 50 or more km/h (Racing) results in an im- mediate seven day suspension of your drivers licence and a seven day seizure of your motor vehicle. Upon conviction, it may also result in a 30-day suspension of your drivers licence. There is a fee to have your licence reinstated after you have been suspended. Slow down and drive safely.
