How much is the fine for speeding in Sweden?
The on-the-spot fine table for speeding and who receives a speed camera fine.
Short answer
The on-the-spot fine for speeding in Sweden ranges from SEK 1,500 to SEK 4,000, depending on how far over you drive and on the posted limit. The fine starts at SEK 2,000 where the limit is 50 km/h or lower and at SEK 1,500 on faster roads. A speed camera fines the driver, not the owner.
Why
- The Prosecution Authority's catalogue of on-the-spot fines lists SEK 2,000 to 4,000 where the limit is 50 km/h or lower, and SEK 1,500 to 4,000 where it is higher.
- According to the catalogue, for a limit above 50 km/h the fine is SEK 1,500 for 1 to 10 km/h over, SEK 2,400 for 16 to 20 km/h over and SEK 4,000 from 36 km/h over.
- Trafikverket says only the driver can be fined for a speed camera offence, not the owner.
Details
Where the limit is 50 km/h or lower, the catalogue steps are SEK 2,000 (1 to 10 km/h over), 2,400 (11 to 15), 2,800 (16 to 20), 3,200 (21 to 25), 3,600 (26 to 30) and 4,000 from 31 km/h over. Serious speeding can also lead to the licence being revoked, according to Transportstyrelsen, which names 31 to 40 km/h over the limit as the most common case. For other road rules, see driving and road rules in Sweden.
Tip
Check the posted limit on each road: Visit Sweden says limits run from 30 km/h up to 120 km/h and tells drivers to always follow the signs.
What may differ
The amount depends on whether the limit is 50 km/h or lower or higher than 50 km/h, and on the number of kilometres per hour over. The Prosecution Authority can change the catalogue, so check the current version.
