How to Deal with Speeding Over 50%?
2 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.
