How many points are deducted for speeding between 20% and 50%?
3 Answers
Speeding between 20% and 50% over the speed limit results in a deduction of 3 points. Below is relevant information about vehicle speeding: Point deduction standards for speeding below 50%: On roads with a speed limit above 100 km/h, speeding between 10% and 50% over the limit incurs a fine. Speeding between 20% and 50% on highways results in a 200 yuan fine and 6 points deducted. Drivers of medium-sized or larger passenger vehicles, cargo trucks, school buses, or hazardous material transport vehicles speeding between 20% and 50% on roads other than highways or urban expressways, or drivers of other vehicles doing the same, will have 6 points deducted. Highway speeding penalty standards: Speeding within 10% of the limit generally incurs no fine or point deduction; speeding between 10% and 20% over the limit results in a fine and 3 points deducted; speeding between 20% and 30% over the limit results in a fine and 6 points deducted; speeding between 30% and 50% over the limit results in a fine and 6 points deducted. On roads with speed limits below 60 km/h, speeding less than 50% over the limit results in a warning.
I remember last time I was driving, I accidentally stepped on the accelerator too hard and exceeded the speed limit by 20% but less than 50%. As a result, I got 6 penalty points and had to pay a fine of 200 yuan. To be honest, this kind of violation is quite common, especially on highways. For example, when the speed limit is 120 km/h, going up to 144 km/h falls into this category. After getting penalty points, the impact is significant—your driver's license might be suspended, and you’ll have to attend training and pass a test. For daily driving, I recommend installing a radar detector or a mobile app to remind you of speed limits to avoid getting caught by speed cameras. Speeding not only leads to fines and points but also increases the risk of accidents, especially in rainy or snowy conditions. Nowadays, I keep my speed under 100 km/h to stay safe.
I'm quite concerned about the rules for speeding violations. Exceeding the speed limit by 20% but less than 50% is considered a mid-level violation, which uniformly results in 6 demerit points. Regarding fines, they differ between urban roads and highways, generally ranging from 200 to 500 yuan. The key additional impact is that accumulating 12 demerit points requires retaking the theoretical test, and insurance premiums may also increase. I've personally tested my speed—when the limit is 60 km/h, going up to 72 km/h easily triggers a violation. It's best not to rely solely on the speedometer; using a GPS device to confirm actual speed is advisable. Maintaining a steady speed is not only fuel-efficient and safe but also helps avoid trouble.
