Generally, speeding at 150 km/h on the highway results in a deduction of three points. For speeding less than 50% over the limit on highways, penalties are imposed under Article 90, including a fine and 3 points. Speeding more than 50% over the limit results in a fine, 6 points deducted, and revocation of the motor vehicle driving license. Here is additional information: Motor vehicle drivers committing any of the following violations will have 6 points deducted: 1. Driving medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicles, school buses, or hazardous material transport vehicles on highways or urban expressways exceeding the speed limit by less than 20%. 2. Driving medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicles, school buses, or hazardous material transport vehicles on roads other than highways or urban expressways, or driving other motor vehicles exceeding the speed limit by 20% or more but less than 50%.
Last month, I impulsively sped up to 150 km/h on the highway and got caught, resulting in a 6-point deduction. Later, I specifically checked the regulations—China’s highways generally have a speed limit of 120 km/h. Exceeding 150 km/h means going 25% over the limit, which falls within the 20%-50% range and directly incurs a 6-point penalty. If it were a mountainous area with a 100 km/h limit, exceeding 50% would cost all 12 points. Honestly, the fine isn’t the big issue; the real wake-up call was when I nearly lost control speeding in the rain. Now, I strictly stick to 120 km/h. A reminder: exceeding 50% could even get your license revoked, with enforcement waiting at the next toll booth. I recommend installing a navigation system with interval speed monitoring alerts—it’s safer and hassle-free.
