A speeding ticket in Belgium can have serious consequences. Depending on the violation and the zone, you may receive a fine, be banned from driving or have to pass mandatory reinstatement examinations. In this article, Mr. Mohamed Asfour, a lawyer at the Brussels Bar, explains exactly what you risk and how a lawyer can help you.<\/p>\n

Grading in degrees<\/h2>\n

De Belgische wegcode deelt snelheidsovertredingen in vier graden in. Eerste graad: overschrijding tot 10 km\/u. Tweede graad: 11 tot 20 km\/u overschrijding. Derde graad: 21 tot 30 km\/u. Vierde graad: meer dan 30 km\/u. Vanaf de tweede graad is een rijverbod mogelijk.<\/p>\n

Fines and opdeciemen<\/h2>\n

Fines in Belgian criminal law are multiplied by 8 (opdeciemen). A legal fine of 400 euros thus becomes 3,200 euros in practice. Added to this are court costs.<\/p>\n

Driving ban for speeding<\/h2>\n

From the second degree on, the judge can impose a driving ban. At the fourth degree or repeatedly, a driving ban is almost certain. A driving ban of more than three months automatically leads to mandatory retests.<\/p>\n

What can a lawyer do?<\/h2>\n

A lawyer can check the measurement, radar device and procedure for errors. Even if the facts are proven, a lawyer can argue for reduced penalties, suspension or a limited driving ban. Especially for drivers who need their licence for their profession, this is essential.<\/p>\n
