Speeding is a common traffic violation in Germany and is seen as the biggest cause of accidents. The fines that are levied for such violations are based on the road traffic regulations (StVO) and a nationwide catalog of fines. Stricter rules apply within built-up areas, but you also have to adhere to the regulations outside of them to avoid getting caught up in the expensive and often unpleasant vortex of points and driving bans. According to adac.de, even small speeding violations can be expensive: speeding up to 10 km/h is punished with 30 euros, while speeding by 26 to 30 km/h results in 180 euros and one point.

Since speeding not only poses a risk to road safety, but also has financial and legal consequences for road users, every driver should develop a growing awareness of compliance with speed limits. One of the most important rules: A maximum of 50 km/h applies in urban areas, while outside of urban areas the speed limit is usually up to 100 km/h. On certain streets and highways there are no speed limits, but you should not lose sight of the recommended 130 km/h, because anyone who exceeds this could also be held liable in the event of an accident. This information comes from bussgeldkatalog.net.
New drivers in the probationary period in particular have to expect strict sanctions, and it's good to know that warning fines can be offered even for minor violations.
With the right understanding of the traffic rules and a responsible driving style, you not only stay safe on the road, but you can also avoid expensive fines.
