How much is the fine for driving 120 in a 100 speed limit zone?

According to relevant regulations, a fine of 200 yuan and 6 demerit points will be imposed. The following is relevant information about speed limits: 1. Concept: Speed limits refer to the necessary speed restrictions imposed on various mechanical and electrical equipment and their manual operations to maintain normal, stable, safe, and reliable production order and activity processes. The main purpose is to preemptively remind drivers to reasonably control their speed in subsequent sections of the road ahead and prevent the dangers of speeding. Speed limits are an indispensable and most important part of road transportation safety. 2. Speed limit conventions: Relevant regulations are the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," and the authoritative work is the "Technical Standards for Highway Engineering." The reality is that the overall traffic safety awareness of the public still needs improvement; actual speed limits take legal documents as the absolute premise, traffic works as reference standards, and real-world situations as flexible considerations.
I often drive on the highway, and if the speed limit is 100 but I drive at 120, that's 20% over the limit, which comes with hefty penalties. In most parts of China, this kind of speeding results in a fine of around 200 yuan and 3 demerit points, as traffic regulations stipulate that speeding between 10%-20% warrants such penalties. Last time, a friend of mine got caught by a speed camera doing this and immediately received a ticket, losing both money and points. Speeding isn't just costly; it's also extremely dangerous—a momentary lapse in attention can easily lead to a rear-end collision or an accident. I recommend installing a radar detector or using a mobile app to alert you about speed limits, so you don't have to constantly watch the dashboard. Also, avoid taking risks, especially on rainy days or around curves—fines are minor compared to safety, which should always come first.
