How many points will be deducted for driving at 84 in an 80 speed limit zone?

As long as the speeding does not exceed 10%, there will be no fine or points deducted. However, in some areas, it may still be considered speeding without imposing fines or penalties. Below is relevant information about highway speed limits: 1. Low-speed restrictions for motor vehicles: On highways, motor vehicles must maintain a minimum speed of no less than 60 km/h. If there are two lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the left lane is 100 km/h; if there are three or more lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the far-left lane is 110 km/h, and the middle lane's minimum speed is 90 km/h. 2. High-speed restrictions for small passenger vehicles: The maximum speed for small passenger vehicles on highways must not exceed 120 km/h, while other motor vehicles must not exceed 100 km/h, and motorcycles must not exceed 80 km/h. If the speed indicated by road speed limit signs conflicts with the above lane speed regulations, drivers should follow the speed indicated by the road speed limit signs.
I also encountered a similar situation last time, driving at 84 in an 80 km/h speed limit zone on the highway, and I was quite worried about getting points deducted or fined. Actually, traffic rules have become a bit more lenient now, and generally, no penalties are issued for speeding within 10% of the limit. 80 multiplied by 10% is 8 km, and 84 is only 4 km over 80, which is well under 8, so no points will be deducted, nor will there be a fine—at most, the traffic police might give a warning reminder. After driving for so long, I’ve noticed that the dashboard isn’t always accurate; the speedometer showing 84 might actually mean the real speed is just over 80. It’s best to use a phone navigation app to check the actual speed. Also, speeding just a little might sound harmless, but small risks on the road can add up and become dangerous. I’ve seen some accidents caused by careless speeding, so now I try to stay within the speed limit—safety first. Developing good habits is more important than worrying about points. Regularly checking your car’s condition and road signs can help avoid these minor hassles.
