Do speed camera fines come with demerit points?

No, NZTA does not issue demerit points for safety camera infringements. This is a key difference from being stopped by a Police officer, where demerit points do apply. Camera fines are financial penalties only. However, demerit points are assigned if you are stopped by Police—10 points for up to 10 km/h over, 20 for 10-20 km/h, 35 for 20-30 km/h, 40 for 30-35 km/h, and 50 for over 35 km/h. See nzta.govt.nz/driver-licences/driving-offences-and-penalties/demerit-points for details.

What happens if I speed more than 40 km/h over the limit?

Speeding by more than 40 km/h over the limit can result in a 28-day licence suspension in addition to the fine. If you exceed 50 km/h over the limit, your case goes to court and you may face charges of careless, dangerous or reckless driving with more severe penalties. These apply whether caught by camera or by Police.
