Find both under **Law** in the CAD admin panel. Changes are kept as a draft until you click **Save Changes** (`Ctrl` + `S`). The currency symbol and speed units come from [Regionality](/CAD/Admin/customization/regionality). *** ## Speeding Classes Speeding classes work out the fine and licence points for a speeding charge based on how far over the limit someone was. You can have up to 10, for example a Default and a School Zone class (both included on new servers). Manage Speeding Classes list with the Default class and its bracket count, and the New speeding class button Click **New speeding class**, or **Duplicate Class** to copy one. | Setting | Description | | - | - | | Name | Must be unique. Records link to classes by name, so renaming one unlinks older records. | | Act | The act the speeding charge is filed under. | | Charge Class | The class given to speeding charges. | | Code | The code shown on speeding charges. | | Charge Format | The charge text. `{0}` is the measured speed and `{1}` the limit. Blank gives "Speeding 80 MPH in a 50 MPH zone". | ### Brackets Each class has brackets. A bracket starts at a number of speed units over the limit and sets a fine rate (per unit over) and licence points (0 to 50). The highest bracket reached is used. With the Default class, 80 in a 50 zone is 30 over. That reaches the 30 bracket ($30 per unit, 4 points), so the fine is 30 × $30 = \$900 with 4 points. *** ## Surcharges Surcharges add an extra amount to fines, either fixed or a percentage, based on how big the fine is. You can have up to 10. Manage Fine Surcharges list with one surcharge and its bracket count, and the New surcharge button Click **New surcharge**. It comes with a ready-made set of brackets you can change. | Setting | Description | | - | - | | Name | The surcharge name. | | Abbreviation | Shown on record summaries when the name is long. Record templates can show the amount with the `charges_surcharge_` variable plus this abbreviation. | | Charge Types | Only apply to Criminal, Civil or Speed charges. Empty means all. | | Charge Acts | Only apply to charges from these acts. Empty means all. | Each bracket starts at a fine amount and adds either a fixed amount or a percentage of the fine. Surcharges are worked out per charge using that charge's own fine, and each one shows as its own line on records and PDFs. A surcharge with a $25 bracket from $101 and a 25% bracket from $1,001 adds $25 to a $150 fine and $300 to a \$1,200 fine. *** Still have questions?
