How Many Points Are Deducted for Speeding?

Points will be deducted for exceeding the speed limit by more than 10%. Penalties for speeding: Exceeding the speed limit by less than 10% results in a warning; on roads with a speed limit below 50 km/h, exceeding the speed limit by 10% to less than 20% results in a fine; on roads with a speed limit between 50 km/h and 80 km/h, exceeding the speed limit by 10% to less than 20% results in a fine. Speeding regulations: According to Article 42 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, motor vehicles on the road must not exceed the maximum speed indicated by speed limit signs. On roads without speed limit signs, a safe speed should be maintained.

As a driver who frequently uses highways, I believe it's crucial to remember the rules regarding speeding penalties to ensure safety. According to current traffic regulations, the penalty points vary depending on the extent of speeding: if you exceed the speed limit by less than 20%, for example, driving 120 km/h in a 100 km/h zone, you'll get 3 penalty points; exceeding by 20% to 50% results in 6 points; and going over 50% above the limit will cost you 12 points, with the possibility of license suspension in severe cases. It's not just about the points—speeding increases the risk of accidents. I always set speed limit alerts on my navigation before driving to maintain a steady speed, avoiding fines and, more importantly, ensuring safety. Remember, the 10% buffer zone doesn't count as speeding, but it's best not to push the limits.

I've been driving for 20 years and know the speeding penalty rules well: less than 20% over the limit deducts 3 points, 20% to 50% deducts 6 points, and over 50% directly deducts 12 points. Last month, my colleague was heavily fined for exceeding 50% on the highway—losing all 12 points meant retaking the driving test. I recommend using cruise control to maintain speed and avoid rushing. From a safety perspective, higher speeds mean shorter reaction times and doubled risks—saving one minute could cost your life, so plan ahead instead. Regularly checking tires and brakes also helps prevent loss of control.

I was always worried about speeding when I first started driving. The rule is: exceeding the speed limit by up to 20% results in 3 penalty points; 20% to 50% is 6 points; and over 50% is 12 points. In daily city driving with a 60 km/h speed limit, exceeding by 12 km/h reaches the 20% threshold. I use a mobile app to monitor my speed to avoid unintentional acceleration. Don't underestimate penalty points—accumulating too many can lead to higher insurance premiums and other hassles. As a beginner, I once misjudged the speed limit and got fined, so now I strictly follow the navigation prompts.
