2 Answers
Here is an introduction to the penalty points related to speeding: 1. Within 10%: Speeding on highways within 10% over the speed limit results in a warning. 2. 10% or more: Speeding 10% or more but less than 20% over the speed limit results in 3 penalty points. 3. 20% to 50%: Speeding 20% or more but less than 50% over the speed limit results in 6 penalty points. 4. 50% or more: Speeding 50% or more over the speed limit may result in the revocation of the driver's license. Below is extended information on penalties for speeding 10% or more but less than 20% over the limit: 1. Below 50 km/h: For vehicles driving on roads with a speed limit below 50 km/h, speeding 10% or more but less than 20% over the limit results in 3 penalty points. 2. 50-80 km/h: For vehicles driving on roads with a speed limit between 50 km/h and 80 km/h, speeding 10% or more but less than 20% over the limit results in 3 penalty points. 3. 80-100 km/h: For vehicles driving on roads with a speed limit between 80 km/h and 100 km/h, speeding 10% or more but less than 20% over the limit results in 3 penalty points. 4. Above 100 km/h: For vehicles driving on roads with a speed limit above 100 km/h, speeding 10% or more but less than 50% over the limit results in 3 penalty points.
I'm just a driver, so I'm quite familiar with the rules. Speeding is divided into several tiers: between 10% and 20% over the limit usually results in 3 penalty points and a fine of around 200 yuan; exceeding 20% to 50% is more severe, typically 6 points, and the fine can double; if you exceed 50% or more, it's an immediate 12-point deduction, and you could lose your license. I often encounter this on highways—speed up too much, and it's easy to get careless. Once, I was doing 120 in a 100 zone, which is 20% over, got caught by a speed camera, and lost 6 points. Remember, city streets are stricter. In a 60 zone, going 66 might slide, but exceeding 20% is serious trouble—better not push it. Safe driving is the way to go; use navigation alerts for speed limits to avoid penalties.
