Question: Driving 40 km/h over the limit in Alberta is generally considered a:
Answer options:
- Minor speeding offence
- Moderate speeding offence ✅ Major / stunt-level offence
- No offence
Correct answer: Major / stunt-level offence
Explanation: In Alberta, exceeding the speed limit by 40 km/h or more is classified as a major or stunt-level offence because it poses a severe threat to public safety, resulting in six demerit points and substantial fines. Minor speeding offences typically involve driving less than 15 km/h over the limit, while moderate offences cover mid-range speeding; exceeding the limit by such a high margin is a serious violation, making the other options incorrect. Under Alberta's Demerit Point Program, penalties escalate dramatically at this threshold to deter extreme speeding. Class 7 license candidates must memorize these speed thresholds and associated demerits to pass the traffic laws section of the knowledge exam.
