Speeding fines in Italy: the four bands and the calculation
Enter the speed on your verbale and the limit: see the band, the amount with and without the discount, the points and any suspension, including at night or as a new driver.
An Italian speeding fine depends on how many km/h you were over the limit after the 5% reduction (at least 5 km/h) set by article 345 of the Highway Code regulation. Article 142 of the Highway Code sets four bands: up to 10 km/h over costs €42 to €173, with no points; more than 10 and up to 40 km/h over costs €173 to €694 and 3 points; more than 40 and up to 60 km/h over costs €543 to €2,170, 6 points and a one-to-three-month licence suspension; more than 60 km/h over costs €845 to €3,382, 10 points and six to twelve months of suspension. You pay the minimum within 60 days, the minimum less 30% within 5 days when there is no suspension, and half the maximum after that. Between 10 pm and 7 am everything rises by a third, and drivers licensed for under three years lose twice the points. These are the 2026 amounts, frozen until the decree expected for 2027.

The four bands of article 142
Article 142 has no fixed amounts: each band has a minimum and a maximum. The police write the minimum on the fine, and that is what you pay within 60 days. The maximum only matters in two cases: if you neither pay nor appeal (half the maximum becomes due) and if an appeal to the prefetto is rejected.
| Over the limit | Paragraph | Minimum | Maximum | Points | Suspension |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| up to 10 km/h | para. 7 | €42 | €173 | 0 | no |
| over 10, up to 40 | para. 8 | €173 | €694 | 3 | no |
| over 40, up to 60 | para. 9 | €543 | €2,170 | 6 | 1–3 months |
| over 60 km/h | para. 9-bis | €845 | €3,382 | 10 | 6–12 months |
Examples: 112 km/h recorded on a 90 road gives 106 km/h held and 16 km/h over: €173, €121.10 within 5 days and 3 points. 60 km/h in a 50 town gives 55 km/h, just 5 over: €42 and no points. 140 km/h on a 110 dual carriageway gives 133 km/h and 23 over: €173 and 3 points. 165 km/h on a 90 road gives 156.75 km/h and 66.75 over: €845, 10 points and six to twelve months of suspension.

Night, new drivers and heavy vehicles
Three circumstances change the sum. At night, between 10 pm and 7 am, minimum and maximum rise by a third (article 195, paragraph 2-bis): €173 becomes €230.67. Drivers licensed for under three years lose double points under the article 126-bis table, and article 117 lowers their limits to 100 km/h on motorways and 90 on main extra-urban roads: 120 on a motorway is already speeding for them. For the heavy vehicles listed in paragraph 3, paragraph 11 doubles amounts and suspensions.

Repeat offences and several cameras within an hour
The 2024 reform (law 177 of 2024) added a rule for towns: two offences of 10 to 40 km/h over in a built-up area within the same year cost €220 to €880 and a 15 to 30-day suspension. In the higher bands, a repeat within two years extends the suspension to 8 to 18 months (paragraph 9) or leads to revocation of the licence (paragraph 9-bis). The other way round, several offences recorded by the same body on its roads within an hour are punished as the most serious one plus a third, when that is better for the driver (paragraph 6-ter). Visitors who pass several cameras on the same provincial road during one trip should check this before paying each fine separately.

What to check on the fine
Before paying, check four things: the speed held and the reduction applied; the limit stated, which must match the sign; the service date, within 90 days of the offence being established (360 if the owner lives abroad); and the approval or homologation decree of the device. If one of them is wrong, the appeal page explains what to do. If everything is in order, paying within 5 days is almost always cheapest: the reduced payment page works out the exact date.
