Exceeding the speed limit by 40% results in a fine and 3 demerit points. Speeding refers to a driver operating a vehicle at a speed that exceeds the legal or regulatory speed limit. A turbine overspeed accident is a serious and dangerous incident caused by faults in the turbine's speed control and protection systems, as well as inherent defects. Speeding penalty standards: 1. Exceeding the speed limit by less than 10%: No fine or demerit points. 2. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 10% but less than 20%: A fine and 3 demerit points. 3.

I've been driving trucks for decades, and speeding by 40% is quite common but also very serious. I remember last year, a fellow driver did this on the highway and not only got fined 1,500 yuan but also had 6 points deducted. Handling it is quite a hassle—you have to go to the traffic police station or pay the fine through an online app. If you delay, there's a late fee. If you accumulate 12 points, you have to retake the theoretical exam, and excessive speeding could even lead to a three-month suspension of your license. I suggest checking the speed limit signs before driving and setting reminders on your phone's navigation app—don’t risk it just to save time. Road safety is the top priority; driving too fast makes it hard to brake in time, increasing the risk of collisions. Everyone should regularly check their speedometer and not let bad habits harm them. And if it happens, deal with it promptly to avoid bigger troubles.
As a new driver who just got my license two years ago, I was in a hurry last month and ended up speeding 40% over the limit. I got fined 1,200 yuan and had 6 points deducted from my license. I really regret it now. When dealing with the penalty, you first have to accept the ticket, then pay the fine at the bank or through Alipay. If the points deducted exceed 12, you’ll also have to attend a remedial course and retake the test. Now, I always drive with a speed limit reminder app, and I slow down as soon as the speeding alarm goes off. Fines are higher in urban areas, and speeding on highways is even more dangerous—I almost got into an accident that time. Looking back, saving those few minutes wasn’t worth it. Everyone, don’t follow my example. Safe travel is what really matters—keep your speed within the limit.
