Generally, exceeding the speed limits on roads will lead to a fine. Once the AARTO Act has been rolled out nationally and the demerit points system has been implemented, the fine will also be accompanied by negative demerit points against your name.

  • However, speeds that excessively exceed the limits can get you arrested and may lead to your licence being suspended or cancelled.
  • A person that exceeds the speed limit by 30 kilometers per hour in an urban area or 40 kilometers per hour on a freeway, can be arrested and brought before the court.
