How to deal with driving at 112 in a 100 speed limit zone on the highway?
4 Answers
Driving at 112 in a 100 speed limit zone on the highway means exceeding the speed limit by more than 20% but less than 50%, which results in 6 penalty points. Additionally, drivers who exceed the speed limit by more than 10% but less than 20% will receive 3 penalty points. Drivers who exceed the speed limit by more than 50% will receive 12 penalty points. Below is the relevant information: 1. Highways should indicate the speed limit for each lane, with the maximum speed not exceeding 120 km/h and the minimum speed not less than 60 km/h. On highways, the maximum speed for small passenger cars should not exceed 120 km/h, while other motor vehicles should not exceed 100 km/h, and motorcycles should not exceed 80 km/h. 2. For roads with 2 lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the left lane is 100 km/h; for roads with 3 or more lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the leftmost lane is 110 km/h, and the minimum speed for the middle lane is 90 km/h. If the speed limit indicated by road signs differs from the above lane speed regulations, drivers should follow the speed limit indicated by the road signs.
I once encountered driving at 112 km/h on a highway with a speed limit of 100. My first reaction was to stay calm and not panic, gently pressing the brake to gradually slow down below 100, avoiding sudden braking to prevent losing control. At high speeds, reaction time is short—just one second can cover an extra 30 meters. If a car changes lanes or there’s an obstacle, there’s hardly any time to swerve. Turn on your lights to alert surrounding vehicles and maintain a safe distance. After exiting, remember to rest at a service area or the next exit and reflect on why you were speeding: Did you relax because the road conditions were good? Get into the habit of checking your dashboard or use cruise control to help maintain speed. A speeding ticket is a minor issue; safety is what truly matters. Regularly check your car’s braking system for responsiveness and tire wear—prevention is far better than dealing with the aftermath. Driving isn’t a race; arriving home safely is the real victory.
I was driving over the speed limit from 100 to 112, and the consequences are quite troublesome. According to traffic regulations, exceeding the speed limit by 10% but less than 20% usually results in a fine of 200 yuan and 3 demerit points. If caught by a speed camera or pulled over by traffic police, comply with the penalty without argument. There are several ways to handle it: pay the fine via the traffic management app 12123 or visit the vehicle management office. Speeding records can also affect insurance premiums, potentially leading to an increase next year. More importantly, accumulating too many demerit points might require attending a refresher course and retaking the written test (Subject One). In the future, keep a closer eye on the speedometer, especially on highways where it's easy to accelerate unintentionally. Develop the habit of using navigation apps with speed limit alerts that sound an alarm when exceeding the limit. Obeying speed limits isn’t just about avoiding fines—it’s about taking responsibility for yourself and others. Don’t wait for an accident to regret it; cultivate the habit of controlling speed at all times while driving.
Once I was driving on the highway at 112 km/h, exceeding the 100 km/h speed limit, and I panicked immediately. I let go of the accelerator and gently applied the brakes to slow down to a safe speed. After that incident, I learned my lesson and now always set up speed limit alerts on my phone navigation—it beeps whenever I exceed the limit. I practice smooth driving regularly and avoid following fast-moving traffic. On the highway, the flow of traffic can be deceptive, so I rely more on the car’s speedometer rather than my instincts. If I do exceed the speed limit, I slow down promptly to avoid repeated violations. I also practice with driving simulator games to get a better feel for speed control and develop good habits. Safety comes first—no showing off.
