Driving at 130 km/h when passing a speed camera on the highway is a speeding violation, but it may not result in point deductions or fines. For example, driving at 130 km/h on a highway with a speed limit of 120 km/h constitutes an 8% overspeed, which does not reach the 10% threshold. According to relevant regulations, exceeding the speed limit by less than 10% will not result in point deductions or fines but will only warrant a warning. Below are the relevant details: 1. Point deductions for speeding on the highway: The number of points deducted for speeding on the highway depends on how much the vehicle's speed exceeds the prescribed limit. Any speed exceeding 10% of the limit will result in point deductions, with different ranges incurring different penalties. 2. Liability for accidents caused by speeding: If a traffic accident is caused by speeding and the other party has no driving faults, the speeding driver shall bear full responsibility. If both parties have committed violations, neither will be deemed fully responsible. The liability will be divided based on the role and severity of each party's violations in causing the accident, assigning primary responsibility, equal responsibility, or secondary responsibility accordingly. The specific division of responsibility will be determined by the traffic police department. If dissatisfied with the traffic police's decision, one may apply for a review or directly file a lawsuit in court.
Driving at 130 km/h on the highway is a situation I’m sharing from the perspective of an experienced driver. The speed limit on Chinese highways is generally 120 km/h, so driving at 130 km/h is considered speeding. However, the excess speed is only about 10 km/h, which is less than 10%. According to regulations, speeding under 10% usually doesn’t result in point deductions, just a fine of around 200 RMB or a warning. I must remind everyone not to take this lightly; a speed of 130 km/h increases braking distance by about 20 meters, making it easier to lose control in emergencies. For daily driving, I recommend using cruise control to maintain 120 km/h—it’s safe, fuel-efficient, and compliant, helping you avoid hidden speed cameras. Excessive speed also accelerates tire wear, and driving like this long-term is more trouble than it’s worth. Cultivating stable driving habits is the key.
