How to Deal with a Heavy Truck Speeding Less Than 10%?
2 Answers
A heavy truck speeding less than 10% will result in a warning reminder for the driver. Below are the relevant regulations on driving speed: 1. Driving at night or in adverse weather conditions: The speed must not exceed the maximum speed indicated by the speed limit signs. On roads without speed limit signs, a safe speed should be maintained. When driving at night, on dangerous road sections, or under weather conditions such as sandstorms, hail, rain, snow, fog, or icy roads, the driving speed should be reduced. 2. Driving on roads with more than two motor vehicle lanes in the same direction: The left lane is the fast lane, and the right lane is the slow lane. Motor vehicles driving in the fast lane should adhere to the speed limit specified for that lane. If the speed does not meet the fast lane requirement, the vehicle should move to the slow lane. Motorcycles should drive in the far-right lane. If there are traffic signs indicating the speed, drivers should follow the specified speed. Vehicles in the slow lane may use the fast lane to overtake the vehicle in front. 3. Motor vehicles driving on roads: The speed must not exceed the limits indicated by speed limit signs or markings. On roads without speed limit signs or markings, motor vehicles must not exceed the following maximum speeds: (a) On roads without a central dividing line, the speed limit is 30 km/h in urban areas and 40 km/h on highways; (b) On roads with only one motor vehicle lane in the same direction, the speed limit is 50 km/h in urban areas and 70 km/h on highways.
I know this well, having driven long distances for over a decade and seen it all. For heavy trucks, speeding less than 10% is considered minor and typically results in a 200 yuan fine without points under regulations. The key point is that commercial vehicles face much stricter management than private cars—the company will report it during safety meetings, and BeiDou monitoring data is retained for three months. Last year, my partner Master Wang was caught speeding 8% on the Shanghai-Kunming Expressway. The traffic police issued an on-the-spot penalty but didn’t confiscate his license. My advice is to pay the fine at the bank after this trip—delaying it could affect the annual inspection of the operating permit. Don’t even think about making up for it next time; nowadays, expressways have many interval speed checks, and the system automatically calculates average speed by comparing timestamps.
