At what speed do you lose your licence on an 80 km/h road?
What Transportstyrelsen says about revocation for speeding and what that means on an 80 road.
Short answer
Driving 31 to 40 km/h over the limit, which is 111 to 120 km/h on an 80 road, is the most common reason for a Swedish licence revocation. Transportstyrelsen says the usual blocking period is two months and that longer periods apply for more serious speeding. In some cases a warning can be given instead of a revocation.
Why
- Transportstyrelsen says the most common revocation cases are when someone has driven between 31 and 40 km/h too fast, and that the blocking period is then normally two months.
- According to Transportstyrelsen, a longer blocking period is decided for more serious speeding.
- Transportstyrelsen says it can decide on a warning instead of a revocation in some cases, and that further offences can lead to a stricter assessment.
Details
Transportstyrelsen gives the figures as kilometres per hour over the limit, with a separate figure for limits of 30 km/h or lower, and no separate table for 80 roads was found. The 111 to 120 km/h figure here is the limit of 80 plus 31 to 40. When Transportstyrelsen investigates, you receive a notice and can give your views before it decides. For a foreign licence, see how foreign driving licences work in Sweden; for other rules, see driving and road rules in Sweden.
Tip
If Transportstyrelsen sends a notice after a speed camera, read it carefully: the authority says an investigation can lead to revocation or a warning, and you can give your views before it decides.
What may differ
For a speed limit of 30 km/h or lower, Transportstyrelsen says the blocking period is normally two months already at 21 to 30 km/h over the limit. The page does not say how its rules apply to a foreign licence.
