2 Answers
Speeding penalties on highways depend on the actual percentage of speed exceeded. Below are the specific details regarding highway speeding: Less than 10% over the limit: A warning is issued for exceeding the speed limit by less than 10%. Between 10% and 20% over the limit: A fine is imposed and 3 points are deducted for exceeding the speed limit by more than 10% but less than 20%. Between 20% and 50% over the limit: A fine is imposed and 6 points are deducted for exceeding the speed limit by more than 20% but less than 50%. More than 50% over the limit: The driver's license may be revoked and a fine imposed for exceeding the speed limit by more than 50%.
As a long-time driver, I'd like to share my real experience with speeding penalties on highways. That time I drove a bit too fast and was caught speeding about 20% over the limit, resulting in 6 points deducted and a 200 yuan fine. The rules are basically like this: on highways, speeding less than 10% usually doesn't incur points, just a warning; 10%-20% over gets you 3 points; 20%-50% is 6 points; if you exceed 50%, it's an immediate 12-point deduction, which is a severe penalty. Fines range from hundreds to thousands of yuan. The key isn't just how many points you lose, but that accumulating too many could lead to license suspension—safety is paramount. Nowadays, I make it a habit to use navigation apps with speed limit alerts, leaving some buffer time instead of rushing. Maintaining steady speeds significantly reduces accident risks while saving money and peace of mind. Keeping a calm driving attitude and following the rules is the real way to enjoy the ride.
