Does speeding at the starting point of an average speed check zone count?
2 Answers
Speeding at the starting point of an average speed check zone generally does not count. Introduction to average speed check zones: It refers to the method of detecting the average speed of motor vehicles passing through the road section between two adjacent speed monitoring points. Rules of average speed check zones: The average speed check zone system involves setting up two cameras at two adjacent monitoring points on the same road section to establish a monitoring and capture system. It conducts two real-time monitoring and captures of vehicles passing through the monitored area of the road checkpoint to obtain information such as vehicle speed, traffic flow, license plate number, color, approximate physical size, and driver characteristics. This information is then transmitted via a network to the public security traffic command center and traffic control sub-center's database for data storage, query, comparison, and other processing.
I've been driving for most of my life, and going slightly over the speed limit at the start of an average speed check zone isn't a big deal because the system mainly looks at your average speed from start to finish. If you drive faster at the beginning, just slow down later to balance it out—as long as the average speed stays within limits, it won't count as a violation. Of course, if there's a fixed speed camera at the starting point, speeding there could get you fined, so I advise everyone not to take risks and maintain steady driving. If the average speed calculation goes wrong or the equipment malfunctions, you might end up with a ticket for no reason—safety should always come first. Driving too fast increases the risk of accidents, which isn't worth it. Regularly check your GPS and map alerts, and plan your route ahead to avoid traffic jams. In short, experienced drivers know that a fast start doesn’t guarantee a win.
