How much speeding is considered a violation?
2 Answers
Any speeding is considered a violation, and the severity of the penalty varies depending on the degree of speeding. The details are as follows: 1. If the speed exceeds the speed limit by less than 10%, a warning will be issued; 2. On roads with a speed limit below 50 km/h, if the speed exceeds the speed limit by more than 10% but less than 20%, a fine will be imposed; 3. On roads with a speed limit between 50 km/h and 80 km/h, if the speed exceeds the speed limit by more than 10% but less than 20%, a fine will be imposed. According to Article 42 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, motor vehicles driving on the road must not exceed the maximum speed indicated by the speed limit signs. On road sections without speed limit signs, a safe speed should be maintained.
I've been driving for over a decade and know all about speeding violations. Actually, speeding standards vary across different road sections. For instance, the highway speed limit is 120 km/h, and you'll get caught if you exceed 10% (132 km/h). On regular urban roads with a 60 km/h limit, going over 66 km/h counts as a violation. What's even trickier are school zones - with a 30 km/h limit, driving at 35 km/h will land you a ticket. Modern electronic enforcement cameras are extremely sensitive and can detect even 1 km/h over the limit. I've seen many novice drivers thinking 2-3 km/h over is fine, only to receive fines. Remember, your speedometer typically shows about 5 km/h lower than your actual speed, so don't push the limits. The fine is secondary - the real issue is the dramatically increased safety risks, with emergency braking distances multiplying exponentially.
