The episode speed measurement is the terror of drivers. Is it possible to cheat this system?

Luc Williams

Due to their effectiveness, segmental speed measurements grow on Polish roads, like mushrooms after rain in the forest. Currently, OPP is already operating in over 60 places, this year they are expected to appear in 43 new locations.

To answer the question whether you can cheat the system, first of all you need to know how the section speed measurement works.

How the section speed of speed works

Segmental speed measurements are nothing but Medium control of the speed of vehicles moving on the supervised section of the roadi. At the beginning and end of the controlled section there are goals with cameras that They record the vehicle data and the time of entry and departure from the supervised section. Based on this data, the system calculates the average speed at which the vehicle moves between the gates. If the calculated speed is greater than the permissible, it means a fine for exceeding the speed.

So how do you avoid a mandate for a sectional speed measurement and can you cheat the OPP system?

How to avoid a mandate for a sectional speed measurement?

The easiest way to avoid a mandate is to drive at the prescribed speed. To maintain a constant speed, the cruise control button is very helping. However, not all cars are equipped with this very useful, especially on long routes, the system.

And what if we overlook the information sign about OPP and enter the first goal at a speed that significantly exceeds the speed limit? No panic, there is a rescue, but on one condition. We need to know that we entered the area under the control of OPP before we reach the second goal.

Then it should be slow down the driving rate well below the speed limit. You can also stop in a parking lot or gas station, Of course, if they are still through the camera closing the episode.

The emergency belt is not a parking lot

Can the emergency belt on the highway be used to stop? Rather not, because such an attempt to avoid one fine, for exceeding the speed, may end with another fine of up to PLN 300, for Unjustified sliding and stopping on an emergency lane.

Can you fool the OPP system? Failing rather not, because of course you can go for some time at speeds above, but later you have to slow down hard, and the total travel time must give an average result, which cannot exceed the speed limit. Therefore, special acceleration does not make much sense. However, you can save yourself from paying a mandate for staring.

Fines for exceeding the speed limit

Exceeding the permissible speed up to 10 km at This is a fine of PLN 50 and 1 penalty point. Railways are:

  • 11–15 km at – PLN 100 and 2 penalty points,
  • 16-20 km at – fine of PLN 200 and 3 penalty points,
  • 21–25 km at – a fine of PLN 300 and 5 penalty points,
  • 26-30 km at – 400 PLN and 7 penalty points,
  • 31–40 km at – fine PLN 800/1600 PLN and 9 penalty points,
  • 41-50 km at – a fine of 1000 PLN/ 2000 PLN and 11 penalty points,
  • 51–60 km per hour – a fine of PLN 1,500/3000 PLN and 13 penalty points,
  • 61–70 km per hour – a fine of PLN 2,000/4000 PLN and 14 penalty points,
  • 71 km at And more – a fine of PLN 2,500/5000 PLN and 15 penalty points.
