How to Deal with Speeding Over 50%?
5 Answers
Exceeding the speed limit by more than 50% but less than 70% will result in a fine. Here is more information about speeding: 1. Penalties: If the speed limit is 80 and you drive at 85, it is considered speeding, but since it does not exceed 10% of the speed limit, there will be no fine or points deducted, only a warning. If you exceed the speed limit by more than 10% up to 20%, you will be fined and receive 3 penalty points. If you exceed the speed limit by more than 20% up to 50%, you will be fined and receive 6 penalty points. 2. Legal Basis: Article 86 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China."
Speeding by 50% is a serious offense. Last time, my relative was caught racing on the highway. It resulted in the maximum penalty of 12 demerit points and a fine of 2,000 yuan. If you're still within the probationary period after just getting your license, the entire license will be revoked. Additionally, you'll have to attend a 7-day course at the DMV and retake the theory test, which is a huge hassle. In some cases, your license could be suspended for six months, depending on how the traffic police assess the situation on the spot. It's advisable to drive with navigation speed limit alerts turned on. Nowadays, new cars come with adaptive cruise control—just set the maximum speed, and it's harder to exceed it. If you do get a ticket, don't delay; handle the fine within 15 days, or you'll end up paying double in late fees later, which is even worse.
I've seen too many drivers get caught for exceeding the speed limit by 50%. The standard penalty is 12 demerit points plus a fine ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 yuan, though the exact amount varies by region. The key point is that if your car gets towed to the impound lot, you'll also have to pay towing fees. It's best to go to the traffic police station as soon as possible to handle the matter, bringing your original ID card and driver's license. After dealing with it, don't rush to drive again, because if you're stopped before your points are cleared, it will count as driving without a license. Actually, nowadays you can set speed limit alerts on your phone's navigation—set it to 60 km/h in the city and 120 km/h on the highway. The safest move is to ease off the gas as soon as the alarm sounds.
Speeding by more than half the limit will definitely result in a revoked license. I often encounter such customers at my auto repair shop. The fine starts at at least 1,000 yuan, and the key point is that your vehicle will be temporarily impounded. You need to first go to the traffic police station to get the ticket, then take the ticket to the bank to pay the fine, and finally return to the traffic police station to retrieve your documents. The whole process takes two to three days, so remember to bring copies of your vehicle registration and ID card. Nowadays, new car models generally come with speed limit functions, allowing you to set the maximum speed directly on the steering wheel, which is much more convenient than older models. After handling everything, it's best to take a taxi home, since you can't drive without a license.
The process is quite straightforward: first, receive the ticket, then report to the DMV, pay the fine, and get points deducted. The fine amount depends on the situation—exceeding the speed limit by 50% on regular roads results in a fine of 500 to 1,000, while on highways, it doubles to over 1,000. A special reminder: drivers in their probation period will have their licenses directly revoked, while experienced drivers who accumulate 12 points will need to retake the written test. When going to handle the ticket, remember to bring your driver's license and bank card, as some places only accept cash, which can be troublesome. For daily driving, it’s recommended to install a heads-up display to monitor your speed in real time and avoid speeding.
