How much speeding is considered a violation and subject to penalty points?

Exceeding the speed limit by 10% is considered a violation and subject to penalty points. Below is relevant information about speeding violations: 1. Definition of speeding: Speeding refers to a driver operating a motor vehicle at a speed exceeding the limits set by laws and regulations. 2. Penalties for speeding violations: Driving medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicles, school buses, or hazardous material transport vehicles on highways or urban expressways at speeds exceeding the limit by 20% or more, or on other roads at speeds exceeding the limit by 50% or more, will result in 12 penalty points for a single offense.

I've been driving for decades, and speeding is something to be cautious about. On Chinese roads, generally exceeding the speed limit by more than 10% is considered a violation and starts to incur penalty points. For example, on a highway with a speed limit of 100 km/h, if you drive at 110 km/h or above, you might be caught on camera, resulting in 1 penalty point and a 200 yuan fine. If you exceed the limit by 20% to 50%, such as driving between 120-140 km/h, the penalty points increase to 3. More seriously, exceeding the limit by more than 50%, like driving at 150 km/h or above on a 100 km/h road, will result in 6 penalty points, a heavier fine, and possibly even license suspension requiring a retest. I usually rely on my phone's navigation app to alert me about speed limits—the beeping sound reminds me to slow down, especially on highways or at night when poor visibility makes speeding more likely to cause skidding. Safety is the priority; it's not worth risking it just to save time.

Speaking of speeding, let's clarify the rules. According to China's traffic regulations, the violation threshold starts at exceeding the speed limit by 10%. For example, in urban areas with a 60 km/h limit, driving at 66 km/h or above may be captured by cameras, resulting in 1 penalty point and a 200 yuan fine. Exceeding by 20% to 50%, like driving 144 km/h on a 120 km/h highway, will incur 3 penalty points and a 200 yuan fine. Exceeding by 50% or more directly results in 6 penalty points and a fine ranging from 500 to 2000 yuan. I suggest everyone familiarize themselves with their vehicle's performance. Navigation tools can set speed warnings to avoid unnecessary fines and reduce accidents, especially on winding roads.

When I first got my driver's license, I learned the hard way about speeding – in China, exceeding the speed limit by 10% is considered a violation. For example, on a suburban road with an 80 km/h limit, driving at 88 km/h might get you caught, resulting in a 1-point deduction and a 200-yuan fine; going even faster makes it worse, with double penalties for serious speeding. Using a mobile app to monitor your speed in real-time can help. Don’t follow my impulsive lead—safe driving keeps you out of trouble.
