Driving at 150 in a 100 speed limit zone is 50% over the speed limit. Different ranges of speeding within various speed limits will result in different fines and penalty points. Here is relevant information about speeding penalties: 1. On regular highways, if you exceed the speed limit by less than 10%, it will result in a warning. Although such speeding does not incur penalty points or fines, you may still receive a ticket, which is classified as a "0 points, 0 fine" warning citation. 2. If your speed exceeds the limit by 15% but is less than 20%, you will be penalized with 3 points. 3. If the speeding is between 20% and 50%, the penalty may be 6 points.
That day I was driving back from a friend's house, the speed limit on the highway was 100 km/h, but I accidentally sped up to 150 km/h. Later, I calculated that I was speeding by 50%. (150-100) divided by 100 and multiplied by 100% equals 50%, which made me regret it deeply. Driving too fast is extremely dangerous. The braking distance at 150 km/h is much longer than at 100 km/h, and a sudden brake could easily lead to loss of control. I later checked the information and found that speeding over 50% is heavily penalized, with some places imposing fines of several thousand yuan and directly deducting 12 points, which is totally not worth it. I recommend everyone to turn on the speed limit reminder on their navigation system as soon as they get in the car. Arriving home safely is more important than anything, especially when you have family with you.
