How much is the speeding when driving at 140 in an 80 speed limit zone?

Speeding = (Current speed - Speed limit) ÷ Speed limit × 100 = (140 - 80) ÷ 80 × 100% = 60 ÷ 80 × 100% = 75%. Exceeding the speed limit by 75%. According to regulations, a warning is issued for speeding less than 10% with no points deducted or fines imposed; speeding between 10% and 20% results in a 3-point deduction and a fine; speeding between 20% and 50% results in a 6-point deduction and a fine; speeding over 50% results in a 12-point deduction, temporary suspension of the driver's license, and mandatory training. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Develop the habit of wearing a seatbelt when getting in the car: The importance of seatbelts for driving safety is self-evident, and many bloody examples have warned that you must fasten your seatbelt when entering the car. However, there are always some people who feel that seatbelts restrict their movement space or even find them uncomfortable and choose not to wear them. Such behavior must be firmly resisted. 2. Ensure the car door is tightly closed when driving: For female drivers, it is not uncommon for the car door to be not fully closed—since female drivers tend to close the door with less force compared to male drivers, the door may sometimes not be tightly closed. In the event of an accident, a loosely closed door could lead to fatal consequences.
I usually enjoy studying traffic regulations, so when it comes to the issue of driving 140 in an 80 km/h speed limit zone, I can do a quick calculation. The formula for calculating the percentage of speeding is (actual speed minus speed limit) divided by the speed limit, then multiplied by 100%, right? Here, the speed limit is 80, and you drove 140, so 140 minus 80 equals 60, 60 divided by 80 is 0.75, and 0.75 multiplied by 100 is 75%, so that's 75% over the speed limit. From a legal perspective, this is considered severe speeding. In many places, the fine can easily reach thousands of yuan, and you might even get 12 points deducted directly, possibly leading to the revocation of your driver's license. I once saw cases of speeding accidents on forums and believe that safe driving is the top priority. I recommend using cruise control more often while driving to avoid distractions and speeding. The consequences of speeding by 75% aren't just fines; it also increases insurance costs, which is really not worth it in the long run.
