Speeding offences are categorised by severity, ranging from Fixed Penalty Notices for minor violations to potential court summons for more severe cases. Penalties may include fines, penalty points, or attendance at a speed awareness course. The Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 and the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988 establish speed limits for various road types, outlining the consequences, including accumulating penalty points, fines, and, in extreme cases, disqualification from driving.
