How many speeding violations can be recorded in one highway trip?

A single highway trip will only record one speeding violation. Below are the specific details regarding speed limits on highways: 1. Penalty regulations: Exceeding the speed limit by less than 10% results in a warning without penalty points; exceeding by 10%—20% incurs 3 penalty points; exceeding by 20%—50% incurs 6 penalty points; and exceeding by more than 50% incurs 12 penalty points. 2. Formula for calculating the speeding percentage: (Actual Speed / Speed Limit) - 1 * 100. For example, if the speed limit is 70 km/h and the vehicle speed is 80 km/h, dividing 80 by 70, subtracting 1, and multiplying by 100 equals 14.28, meaning the vehicle is speeding by 14%.
As a driving enthusiast who frequently travels on highways, I believe the key to this issue lies in the setup of speed monitoring devices on highways. In China's highway system, there are various methods of speed detection, such as fixed cameras installed at tunnel entrances or curves that photograph vehicles exceeding the speed limit; average speed checks calculate the mean speed from start to finish, recording a violation if the speed limit is exceeded. During a long-distance trip, multiple speed monitoring points or sections may be distributed along the route, theoretically allowing a speeding vehicle to be recorded multiple times. I recall analyzing data from a 200-kilometer highway trip and finding an average of 3-5 monitoring points. If one isn't careful to maintain speed, speeding could result in being caught 2-3 times. For safety, I'm accustomed to using navigation apps to receive early warnings about camera locations, avoiding repeated mistakes. Maintaining a steady speed can help reduce these hassles.
