How is highway overtime penalized?

[Hugh]

Highway overtime fee penalty standard requires payment of the full highway toll. Highway overtime fee refers to the 'overtime fee' that must be paid if you exceed 24 hours within the highway network or 12 hours on a specific section. This is a punitive measure established to combat toll evasion by drivers.

When I was younger, I often drove on highways, sometimes speeding a bit to save time, and ended up getting caught by speed cameras several times, resulting in points deducted and fines. The specific penalties depend on how much you exceed the speed limit: within 10%, you might only get a warning with no fine; between 10% and 20%, it’s usually 3 points deducted and a 200 RMB fine; for 20% to 50%, it’s 6 points and a 200 RMB fine; if you exceed 50% or more, it’s 12 points, a fine of 500 RMB or more, and possibly even a revoked license. If your travel time between the entrance and exit is unrealistically short, you might also be penalized for speeding. Safety-wise, after a minor accident, I learned my lesson—now I always use navigation with speed limit alerts or take breaks at rest stops to reduce the risk of speeding. Fines and points are minor; life is priceless, so driving slowly is the way to go. In short, highways are heavily monitored—don’t take chances.
