Getting a speeding ticket in the Netherlands in 2026 is an efficient, primarily administrative process managed by the Central Judicial Collection Agency (CJIB). For minor offenses (typically under 30 km/h over the limit on highways), you will receive a notice in the mail with the letter 'M' on it, referring to the Mulder Act. Fines for 2026 have increased by about 3–4% from previous years; for example, driving 5 km/h over the limit might cost around €35–€40, plus a mandatory €9 administration fee. The fine is sent to the vehicle registration holder, not necessarily the driver. If you fail to pay on time, the fine increases significantly with each reminder (usually 50% for the first and 100% for the second). For very high speeds (over 30 km/h or 50 km/h over the limit), the case becomes a criminal matter, and you may face a court summons, a much larger fine, or the suspension of your driving license. Even for tourists in rental cars, the agency is very effective at tracking you down via the rental company, which will also likely charge you an additional processing fee.
