Do I need to deal with a warning for speeding less than 10%?

No, you do not need to go to the traffic police station to handle a warning for speeding less than 10%. Below are the impacts of speeding: 1. Increased wear and tear on vehicle components: The faster the speed, the more it disrupts the vehicle's performance indices in specific environments, increasing the vehicle's workload and stress, and accelerating the wear and tear of components. 2. Speeding extends the non-safe braking period: A vehicle's braking distance is mainly determined by its speed. Due to inertia, the faster the speed, the longer the braking distance and the non-safe braking period. Speeding prolongs the non-safe braking period, increasing the likelihood of accidents. 3. Speeding affects the vehicle's handling stability: Speeding worsens the vehicle's handling stability, especially when driving on curves. Due to centrifugal force, the vehicle is more prone to skidding or tilting outward from the turning center. 4. Speeding affects the driver's judgment and reduces reaction time: The faster the speed, the farther the driver's focal point and the narrower the field of vision, leading to poorer speed judgment.
As a veteran driver with over 20 years of experience, I've seen too many people suffer consequences from ignoring speeding warnings. A warning for speeding less than 10% might sound trivial, but never take it lightly. These warnings are recorded in the traffic system and will affect your driver's license points; accumulate enough of them, and your license will be suspended when the points max out. More importantly, insurance companies check these records and will raise your premiums—I had to pay an extra $500 last year. Handling it is actually simple: report to the traffic authorities, write a pledge or pay a small fee, and the record can be cleared. Ignore it, and your insurance might deny full coverage in the next accident—a lesson my friend learned the hard way. Safe driving is about correcting small mistakes early; address them sooner for peace of mind.
Young drivers often tend to speed, and I've had similar experiences. Although a warning for exceeding the limit by less than 10% doesn't carry a fine, it must be taken seriously. Your driving record affects future insurance quotes; insurers view this as a high-risk signal, leading to premium hikes of 10-20%, meaning unnecessary extra costs. It's also linked to the driver's license point system; accumulating warnings increases points, and reaching the limit results in suspension. My advice: act quickly. Check the traffic system online to confirm the warning's validity, then visit the counter to complete a dismissal procedure. Neglecting this may surface during background checks for job changes or auto loans, affecting credit. Learned the hard way: I procrastinated for six months, only to see my premiums jump several tiers—deep regret.
